Orlando, FL — Florida NOW strongly opposes the recent decision by Governor Ron DeSantis and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to eliminate all vaccine mandates for children in Florida schools. “This reckless policy reversal endangers the health of our children, undermines decades of public health progress, and disproportionately harms women and marginalized communities,” said Julie Kent, President FL NOW.
