President Donald Trump on Friday gave his endorsement to a January study by HHS that calls for cutting the number of vaccines recommended for every American child.

An executive order from Trump directs federal agencies to align their policies behind the study, which recommended an overhaul long called for by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The study found that the U.S. recommends more childhood vaccines than many peer nations.
