Illinois will not change child vaccine guidelines after Trump executive order
Ben Szalinski
Illinois will not follow new vaccine guidelines that were part of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump holds up a printout of one of his Truth Social posts before signing an executive order that calls for changing the childhood vaccine schedule on August 10, 2026. He is facing a lawsuit over a service offering early access to his Truth Social feed for up to $100,000 a month.
