Joseph Ladapo is the Surgeon General of the State of Florida who announced in September 2025 that he is terminating all vaccine mandates.[1]
As reported by Axios Tampa Bay:
| “ | Friction point: Gov. Ron DeSantis said that the state Department of Health can end vaccine mandates not written into state law, but any others will require action by the Legislature.
... State statutes currently require school children to get immunized against seven illnesses: polio, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, mumps and tetanus. The statute allows the state Department of Health to add vaccines to the list, but not remove any. As of August, the state Department of Health required students to be vaccinated against four additional illnesses: chickenpox, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, and pneumococcal disease.[1] |
