Florida is aiming to become the first US state to cancel all of its vaccine mandates, many of which require children to get jabs against diseases like polio in order to attend public schools.
The state's top health official, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, likened the mandates to "slavery", in announcing the plans.
"Who am I to tell you what your child should put in your body?" he said. "I don't have that right. Your body is a gift from God." #florida #vaccine #vaccination #RonDeSantis #fblifestyle
