Latest Advisories on MMR

In light of higher than normal measles cases being reported in Florida and 16 other states throughout the country (45 as of March 7), it is important that family physicians remain current on the latest information and resources available to prevent infection. The FAFP encourages members to reference the CDC's Protect Families & Communities with MMR Vaccine and other published scientific references to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their patients.

Capitol Update - Week 9

Sine Die!  Following weeks of interim committee meetings that began in September and an intense 60-day session that began in January, the Florida Legislature officially concluded its work last week. Each legislative session is unique, and the 2024 Legislative Session was no exception as it featured a bill vetoed during the legislative session and then revived, the return of a powerful Governor from a presidential campaign trail, record setting reserves, and continued respectful dialogue between the House Speaker and Senate President. The legislature passed major policy initiatives in the healthcare, education, and technology arenas, but mostly importantly completed its constitutional responsibility by passing a $117.46 billion state budget representing the 14^th largest economy in the world.
