Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis drew a line in the sand Thursday, telling reporters he is against mandatory COVID-19 vaccine shots for children.
On Wednesday, a panel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted to add the vaccine to the recommended Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program. It would not make the shots mandatory.
"As long as I’m kicking and screaming, there will be no COVID shot mandates for your kids," DeSantis said during a speech to announce an executive order to provide property tax relief for residents impacted by Hurricane Ian. "That is your decision to make as a parent."
