Florida moves to drop four school vaccine rules, sparking clash with Trump-era policy

Florida health officials unveiled a proposed rule to drop four school vaccine requirements—chickenpox, Hepatitis B, Hib, and pneumococcal disease—for attendance at public and private schools, though those vaccines would still be required under state law; the proposal, now in a public-comment period, reflects Surgeon General Ladapo’s anti-mandate stance and comes amid President Trump’s efforts to revise the national childhood vaccine schedule, which still endorses several vaccines.
