Florida To Recommend Against COVID-19 Vaccines For Healthy Kids

Last month, the state health department discouraged mask-wearing and pushed physicians to exercise their own judgement when treating virus patients.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said Monday that the state will formally recommend against COVID-19 vaccinations for healthy children.

Ladapo made the announcement at a roundtable event organized by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that featured a group of doctors who criticized coronavirus lockdowns and mandate policies. It was not immediately clear when the state would release its health guidance.
