Trump Suggests Changes to Vaccine Administration

On September 18, 2026, President Donald Trump addressed reporters in the Oval Office regarding health care issues. During the event, he announced his plan to urge pharmaceutical companies to alter the current vaccine schedule. He suggested vaccines be divided into five doses, spaced six months apart. He believes this change could potentially lessen autism rates.

The remarks followed statements by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He informed participants at a conference of the anti-vaccine group he established that they had an ally in the White House. These developments have sparked discussion on the administration’s stance on vaccines and the implications for public health policy.
