President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that calls for spacing out childhood vaccines into separate medical visits and splitting the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three different single-disease shots.
Obvious goal is to reduce the number of children who receive all the shots, even if the parents want them to, since every extra jab is unnecessary pain and another potential tantrum.
More importantly, it’s also potentially an excuse for insurance companies to refuse coverage for it. Money is a way bigger influence on parental behavior than upset kids are.

And a separate visit with a separate copay.
