Florida is moving to “end all vaccine mandates” in the state, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced at a press conference on Wednesday.

Ladapo said the Florida Department of Health would be working with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office to end all mandates in Florida law, at the event at Grace Christian School in Valrico, located just east of Tampa.

“Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery,” Ladapo said of vaccine mandates.

Currently, Florida requires children between kindergarten and 12th grade to receive four or five doses of the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine; four or five doses of the polio vaccine; two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine; one dose of the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and at least two doses of the chickenpox vaccine unless the child has had the disease in the past.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
