Trump vaccine order takes aim at states that limit exemptions

President Donald Trump issued an executive order stating that the attorney general will take legal action against states that do not provide "religious and medical exemptions" for immunization requirements. The order specifically targets states like California, Connecticut, Maine, and New York which lack these nonmedical exemptions. Health officials criticized the move by saying it contributes to misinformation, while others highlighted the need for public health empathy with hesitant parents.
