The American College of Physicians has expressed strong opposition to Florida's decision to end vaccine mandates, stating it jeopardizes public health. Dr. Joseph Ladapo's plan could lead to decreased vaccination rates, which the organization warns will result in increased risks of vaccine-preventable illnesses. They emphasize that vaccines are crucial for protecting lives and maintaining public trust in health measures. The ACP calls for the reversal of this decision to safeguard the health of Floridians and visitors alike. The statement reflects broader concerns about vaccine hesitancy and the importance of maintaining immunization requirements.
