This executive order directs HHS to establish a 'Gold Standard' childhood vaccine schedule with fewer recommended vaccines than current CDC guidelines, mandates that MMR be administered as three separate single-disease shots when domestically available, and instructs the DOJ to challenge state vaccine mandates that do not provide religious or medical exemptions. It also orders HHS to develop alternative adjuvants to aluminum and improve vaccine safety monitoring, while preserving access to existing vaccines.
