Florida’s plan to remove all vaccine mandates will not lead to infectious disease outbreaks, the state’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has said.

Ladapo announced on Sept. 3 the plan to remove the mandates. In a new interview, he said the effort to remove mandates is motivated by a desire to restore bodily sovereignty, but he rejected critics’ claims that it will reduce vaccination rates.
