Trump's vaccine order would require millions of individual shots last used decades ago | PBS News

For parents, unbundling the MMR vaccine and spacing out the shots would mean returning to the doctor's office many more times than is currently needed. Those appointments could also strain pediatricians who typically administer the shots, while driving up costs tied to syringes and other medical supplies.

It is also unclear how the overarching directive — which overlaps with past actions by the Trump administration that have run into legal challenges — will change the current vaccination recommendations. 

Dorit Reiss, a law professor at the University of California College of the Law at San Francisco, said the latest effort will likely face similar legal challenges. 

“The president’s familiarity with the administrative law is limited,” Reiss said. “The problem is that this isn’t likely to hold up in court.”…
