President Donald Trump will sign an executive order calling for spacing out childhood vaccines into separate medical visits and splitting the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three different shots.

Scientists are creating a new kind of vaccine that teaches the immune system to intercept a type of brewing colon cancer before it turns into a full-fledged tumor. Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition that puts people at very high risk of getting colorectal cancer, and certain other cancers, especially at younger ages. It affects an estimated 1 million Americans, many of whom don't know their cancer risk. At least three potential Lynch syndrome vaccines are in early testing.
