The #CDC director recommends that the #MMR vaccination be broken up into 3 #vaccines (measles, mumps, rubella) instead of 1 based not on scientific data, but on what #Trump has said he feels* about the vaccine at a recent press conference & on social media.
So kids would have to get 6 shots instead of 2 (bc the MMR vaccine is given in a series of 2 shots).
On a side note, the combined MMR vaccine has been around longer than I’ve been alive.
