Trump EO targeting childhood vaccine schedule is reckless intervention into public health policy
The Trump administration has issued an executive order directing federal health agencies to review and potentially revise the nation’s childhood vaccine schedule based on recommendations that would significantly reduce the number of vaccines routinely recommended for children. CMA warns the move lacks scientific support and could undermine public confidence in vaccines at a time when preventable diseases are resurging.

"I joined the medical society not entirely sure what to expect or how it might impact my daily work. Then the pandemic struck—and everything changed. My colleagues and I were scrambling, doing everything we could to secure supplies for practices that were hanging by a thread. In those moments, access to PPE wasn’t just important; it was literally a matter of life or death.
After exhausting every avenue I could think of, I reached out to SBCMS and CMA as something of a last hope. The first question they asked was, “Do you have a truck or an SUV?” I’ll never forget that moment. What followed was beyond anything I imagined—I drove away with enough PPE and medical supplies to keep our office safe and operational for years. It was the first time I truly understood that the medical society wasn’t just an organization; it was a lifeline. A partner who showed up when it mattered most.
To this day, SBCMS and CMA remain my trusted “go-to” for practice solutions, funding opportunities, GME expansion, and support for the patients we serve. I truly cannot imagine practicing medicine without their collaboration, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to physicians."
