Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans

The order directs federal agencies to establish “Gold Standard” childhood vaccine recommendations based on categories identified in a Department of Health and Human Services scientific assessment, while preserving access to currently available vaccines. It emphasizes parental choice and informed consent and identifies immunizations recommended for all children, including vaccines against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type B, and pneumococcal disease.
