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 to support 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 changes would reduce the number of recommended immunizations from 17 to 11, removing vaccines for diseases such as rotavirus, COVID-19, and influenza. This initiative follows a previous executive order from December 2025, which directed a review of vaccine recommendations in relation to practices in developed countries.
