These recommendations will not make children healthier.

A new Executive Order recommends changing trusted childhood vaccines without scientific evidence. This includes separating the MMR vaccine into individual shots and removing aluminum ingredients that help vaccines work.

These recommendations could lead to more appointments and make it harder for children to get all the vaccines they need—putting families at risk during ongoing measles outbreaks.

Children deserve vaccine recommendations based on science.

35 years later, measles is surging again.

Vaccinate Your Family was born from the 1991 measles outbreak. Today, the Americas are facing their highest measles case count in 22 years: 47,459 cases and 44 deaths.

We’ve seen this story before and we know how to change its ending.

Check your family’s vaccination records. Make the call. Get protected. 💛
