10/8/26 Department of Health Public Hearing on Vaccine Requirements

This proposed rule removes from requirements immunizations that are not required by section 1003.22, Florida Statutes, and updates the Certification of Immunization and the Immunization Guidelines to conform with this change. The rule will also update the Religious Exemption form, providing for the inclusion of moral and ethical beliefs. The department is also updating and clarifying the provision related to opting out of inclusion in Florida SHOTS and making other minor edits to update references to the department’s Immunization Section and to update and incorporate compliance reporting forms and those required for participation in Florida SHOTS by reference as required by law.
