The combined, quadrivalent shot comes with a slight increased risk of febrile seizures if given before age 4, so the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and many medical experts recommend that physicians administer two shots if possible. But there is scant evidence to suggest dividing the MMR vaccine up further \u2014 and spreading the shots out over time \u2014 provides any health or safety benefit. And the added burden of going to the doctor\u2019s office multiple times risks a decline in vaccination coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2025\/09\/26\/trump-mmr-vaccine-change-faces-two-key-hurdles\/?utm_campaign=rss\">Read the rest\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Anil Oza<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2025\/09\/26\/trump-mmr-vaccine-change-faces-two-key-hurdles\/?utm_campaign=rss\">Go to statnews<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 burning questions about the MMR vaccine, answered On Friday, President Trump doubled down on calling for changes to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. \u201cBREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!),\u201d he wrote on his Truth Social account.\u00a0 Currently, parents are offered either the MMR vaccine or a one-shot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2145,2177,1428,2144,2195],"tags":[2150],"class_list":["post-7184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cdc","category-donald-trump","category-health","category-politics","category-vaccines","tag-statnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7184\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mailitics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
