Australian vaccine immunisation rates decline amid US vaccine scepticism
Australian health experts are concerned that US vaccine skepticism, particularly influenced by President Trump's executive order reducing recommended childhood immunizations, is spreading to Australia and threatening decades of public health progress. Trump's order would cut recommended immunizations from 18 to 11 and falsely suggests a link between vaccines and autism. Australia is already experiencing a 3% decline in one-year-olds fully immunized against hepatitis B, indicating the anti-vaccine sentiment may already be taking hold.
