US EditionWestern states form vaccine alliance as Florida plans to end vaccine mandates
California, Oregon, and Washington formed an alliance to provide unified, evidence-based vaccine guidelines amid CDC leadership upheavals; Florida plans to end all vaccine mandates, officials said.
- On September 3, the Democratic governors of California, Oregon, and Washington announced they are collaborating to align their states' vaccine policies.
- The alliance formed in response to Trump administration actions, including mass firing of CDC scientists and politicization of the CDC, which the governors called a direct assault on public health.
- The states argued that dismantling the CDC has led to a lack of clear, scientifically grounded vaccine recommendations, which complicates efforts for healthcare professionals, producers, and families.
- Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo held a news conference declaring vaccine mandates 'wrong' and 'immoral', emphasizing personal bodily autonomy related to one's body and God.
- The West Coast Health Alliance seeks to promote immunization guidance based on scientific evidence and enhance vaccine education across its member states, while Florida has declared its intention to eliminate all vaccine requirements, reflecting contrasting approaches to vaccine policy across these regions.
