- President Trump signed an executive order on Monday introducing new 'gold standard' recommendations for childhood vaccines, per the source
- The order would split up the combined measles vaccine schedule, the source states
- Dr. Ashish Jha, who served as White House COVID-19 pandemic coordinator under former President Biden, is speaking out against the new recommendations
Why it matters: Jha's public criticism creates a direct clash between a senior Biden-era health official and the current administration's vaccine policy. The executive order's directive to split up the combined measles vaccine represents a concrete change to the standard U.S. childhood immunization schedule.
