Trump announced he signed a memo directing HHS to ‘fast track’ the current American vaccine schedule.

"I have just signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the Department of Health and Human Services to "FAST TRACK" a comprehensive evaluation of Vaccine Schedules from other Countries around the World, and better align the U.S. Vaccine Schedule, so it is finally rooted in the Gold Standard of Science and COMMON SENSE!" Trump wrote.

President Trump closed his message by reiterating his support for his HHS Secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr., writing "I am fully confident Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the CDC, will get this done, quickly and correctly, for our Nation’s Children."
