TALLAHASSEE — Florida may keep some required vaccine mandates after all.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made national news in September when he announced a plan to remove all vaccine mandates from state law.
But so far, no lawmaker has put forth any bill that would do away with the mandated vaccines, which include required shots for polio, measles, mumps and more.
Instead, the bill moving forward this legislative session would keep the state’s statutory vaccine requirements but make it easier for parents to opt out.
