WASHINGTON — A possible Trump administration effort to change the childhood vaccine schedule has left hospital leaders, health policymakers, and pediatricians scrambling to navigate what could be the most significant changes to the American vaccine program in decades.
The administration had planned to announce on Friday moves to pare down the number of shots on the U.S. schedule to make it more like Denmark’s, according to an official familiar with the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly. That announcement was delayed, officially due to scheduling reasons. But there were also concerns that moving ahead could be legally or politically risky, the official said.
