In September, Florida’s Governor and Surgeon General announced plans to end the state’s vaccine requirements for school entry. FCAAP is working to protect school vaccine requirements for Florida’s students. Although we do not have the official proposed rule language, we anticipate the proposed changes to include removal of all four of these vaccines from the requirements.
The Florida Pediatric Foundation (FPF) is now accepting applications for the 2026 Louis B. St. Petery, Jr., MD, FAAP, and Julia Revel St. Petery, MD, FAAP, Pediatric Trainee Advocacy Training Scholarship.
The Florida Chapter of American Academy of Pediatrics (“FCAAP”) is concerned that this week’s changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) website suggesting that vaccines cause autism will create confusion for parents and caregivers and will ultimately put children’s health at risk.
The AAP is launching the 2025-2026 Safe Sleep Champion Network. FCAAP has been selected to be a part of this nationwide initiative to support pediatrician education and connections with fatality review to inform local safe sleep outreach.
