The American Medical Association (AMA) criticized an executive order signed by President Trump on May 29, 2026, which aims to align U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations with those of Denmark. AMA President Bobby Mukkamala stated that there is no credible scientific evidence supporting this change, emphasizing that the current vaccine schedule is based on extensive research and is designed to protect children in the U.S. The proposed plan would reduce the number of recommended immunizations from 17 to 11, eliminating vaccines for rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B. This initiative follows a December executive order by Trump to adopt best practices from developed countries.
