Despite federal efforts to drop some children vaccine recommendations, Texas requirements unchanged
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Despite recent federal changes to vaccine recommendations, Texas has not altered its vaccination requirements for students this year. The CDC removed several vaccines from its recommended list, but a federal judge's ruling has kept the pre-2026 recommendations intact. President Trump’s recent order to separate the MMR vaccine into three shots is not a mandate but a guideline, as Texas sets its own vaccine policies. The state's health department confirmed that no changes will occur until the Legislature meets in January. Meanwhile, vaccination rates have dropped, particularly among Hispanic children, amid confusion and immigration enforcement concerns.
