Childhood Vaccine Overhaul: What HHS’s New Guidance Means for Parents

President Trump signed an executive order updating recommended childhood immunizations—reducing the core schedule from 18 vaccines down to protections against 11 diseases, spacing out doses, and recommending single-dose MMR options. While medical and scientific consensus maintains there is no link between vaccines and autism, both the President and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested at the signing that a link may exist between the expanded schedule and rising autism rates. Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) joins the Rundown to examine what this new guidance actually changes. She discusses HHS’s approach to vaccine safety research, efforts to rebuild public trust, pediatric recommendations, and the administration's plan to investigate potential environmental triggers behind brain inflammation and autism.
