Today, Rep. Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement in response to reports that Gov. DeSantis plans to eliminate vaccinate mandates in Florida—making Florida the first state to do so.

“Eliminating vaccine requirements is reckless and dangerous. It puts everyone at risk, especially endangering children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems,” said Rep. Frankel. “It threatens Florida’s economy, which depends on people being healthy and tourists feeling safe.”
