Florida Ends Vaccine Mandates • Florida is ending all vaccine mandates, said Gov. Ron DeSantis, including hepatitis B, polio, measles-
mumps-rubella (MMR), and chickenpox for schools. He announced the formation of a state-level commission modeled after the national Make America Healthy Again initiative, which will focus instead on “individual medical freedom, informed consent, parent rights, and also market innovation.” The state’s Surgeon

Government does not have that right.” DeSantis said the commission’s objectives include “promoting clean, safe, and nutritious food, improving transparency and accountability in healthcare, working on the causes of chronic diseases to identify and prevent future occurrences, and restoring trust in the medical profession and in public health.”
