Vaccine Bill Moves in Tallahassee

On Monday January 26, the Senate Health Policy Committee narrowly passed SB 1756 "Medical Freedom" (6-4 vote) which would allow a conscious objection for state mandated childhood vaccines, require physicians to explain the risks/benefits of the vaccines and alternatives, allow pharmacists to prescribe Ivermectin over the counter without liability, and more. Public opposition to the bill was nearly unanimous, including FAFP President Dr. Danielle Carter testifying about the dangers of losing herd immunity and other serious implications for overall public health (Video, 50:00-2:34:00, with Dr. Carter testimony @ 1:37:50). Keep up to date on the latest developments by reading the FAFP's weekly Capitol Update.  Rest assured, the FAFP will continue to work tirelessly to defeat this legislation during the 2026 legislative session.
