The MMR vaccine “should be administered in three separate single-disease shots once such products are domestically available,” the order recommends.
In addition to the MMR vaccine, the order also calls for “all childhood immunizations [to] be administered at separate medical visits.”

The demand by Trump to separate the MMR vaccine and others like it comes at a time when the U.S. is already experiencing a nationwide measles outbreak.
