US EditionFlorida's plan to drop school vaccine rule won't start for 90 days, won't cover all diseases
Florida's plan will end mandates on vaccines for hepatitis B, chickenpox, and others, making immunizations voluntary and potentially lowering vaccination rates, officials said.
- Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo stated there was no data analysis before his decision to eliminate vaccine mandates for public school children, which has drawn criticism from various experts and organizations.
- In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Ladapo insisted the decision did not require projections about the potential health effects on children.
- Jake Tapper expressed shock over the lack of analysis concerning the impact on public health due to rising cases of diseases like measles and whooping cough in Florida.
- Polls show that 82% of Florida parents support vaccine mandates for public schools, contrasting with Ladapo's position that emphasizes parental rights over vaccination.
