flag Florida moves to end polio, measles, and mumps vaccine mandates, sparking public health concerns.

flag Florida is advancing plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates for polio, measles, and mumps, raising alarms among health experts. flag With polio eradicated in the U.S. since 1979, most current doctors have no experience treating it, and declining vaccination rates could increase the risk of outbreaks. flag Experts warn that removing mandates may weaken herd immunity, hinder early detection, and strain a healthcare system unprepared for a disease long absent from routine practice. flag Survivors of polio, like Kenneth Fuller, emphasize the lasting impact of the disease and the challenges of receiving adequate medical care. flag Health officials stress that maintaining high immunization rates remains critical to preventing the reemergence of polio and protecting public health.
