Trump child vaccine policy shift sparks fierce online backlash

President Trump made a big change to the rules about vaccines for kids in the United States.

He wants parents and doctors to have more say in when certain vaccines are given.

Some vaccines, like the one for hepatitis B, will no longer be recommended for every child.

The new plan still keeps 11 main vaccines at the centre of the schedule.

The government says this gives parents more choice and follows how other developed countries do things.

The order also wants to give the measles, mumps and rubella shot as separate shots instead of one combined shot.

Many people online are upset about the change.

They worry that children might not be protected from dangerous illnesses.

Some people say health decisions should not be made for political reasons.

They also worry about newborn babies catching hepatitis B from their mothers.
