flag CDC rejects call to split MMR vaccine, citing no scientific basis and risks to vaccination rates.

flag Acting CDC director Jim O'Neill has called for separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines, echoing former President Donald Trump’s unsupported claims. flag The CDC states there is no scientific evidence that splitting the MMR vaccine improves safety or effectiveness, and experts warn it could increase costs, require more visits, and reduce vaccination rates. flag Merck and GSK, the U.S. manufacturers, maintain that combination vaccines are safe, effective, and critical for high coverage. flag The push stems from discredited claims linking MMR to autism, which have been thoroughly debunked. flag While the CDC recently recommended separating the varicella vaccine from MMR for young children due to a small seizure risk, this does not apply to the MMR vaccine itself. flag Public health officials stress that combination vaccines remain the standard for protecting children.
