Discussing recent childhood vaccine change with Valley doctor

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- President Trump recently signed an executive order overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule and is now recommending that kids get vaccinated against 11 diseases, down from 18.

The order also calls for splitting up the single-shot MMR vaccine into three individual shots.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has not changed its guidance.

Valley Children's healthcare pediatrician Dr. Hailey Nelson sat down with us to clear up any confusion surrounding vaccine schedules and the important information parents should take away.
