US EditionTrump expresses reservations over Florida eliminating vaccine mandates: ‘We have to be very careful’
President Trump advises caution as Florida plans to end school vaccine mandates, highlighting the effectiveness of vaccines and concerns over public health risks.
- Speaking inside the Oval Office on Friday, President Donald Trump said 'I think we have to be very careful' and distanced himself from Florida's plan to end all vaccine mandates.
- Earlier this week, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo announced plans to remove vaccine mandates, stating they will remain for at least 90-days until Dec. 3 at the earliest.
- Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said parents should decide on vaccines and, in a controversial statement, compared mandates to slavery, while the Florida Department of Health noted repealing school vaccine rules requires the Florida Legislature.
- At the federal level, turmoil has grown as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, reshapes vaccine advisory processes and Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez on Aug. 27; meanwhile, major medical groups oppose Florida's vaccine mandate repeal.
- Historically, CDC research shows childhood vaccination prevented 508 million cases and 1.13 million deaths, saving US$540-billion in health costs and US$2.7-trillion in economic losses.
