The World Health Organization (WHO) says recent changes to US child immunisation policy associated with President Donald Trump go against decades of evidence. WHO officials express concern that the updated approach is not consistent with established guidance on vaccines and child public health.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus states the organization is concerned that the recent changes are not aligned with the body of evidence built over many years. The reporting highlights WHO’s role in monitoring and assessing immunisation approaches and underscores that its position is based on long-standing research and public health practice.
Both outlets present the warning in similar terms, focusing on the conflict between the WHO’s assessment and the direction of US policy. Neither account provides additional details on which specific vaccines or provisions are changed, but both emphasize the WHO’s concern over alignment with the evidence base and its implications for immunisation outcomes.
