According to multiple reports, Florida has joined all 49 other states in ordering Covid vaccines through the federal program for children less than five years old.
The White House Press Secretary said that the decision by the governor was an encouraging first step.
Florida missed Tuesday's deadline to pre-order vaccines, meaning they won't arrive until the end of the month.
In a news conference on Thursday, the governor said his administration was against the Covid vaccine for young kids.
The state never intended to buy shots during the pre-order period, according to the spokesman for the candidate.
The news was first reported by the newspaper.
One of the most prominent figures associated with vaccine skepticism was Ron DeSantis, who was vocal in his support of vaccinations in late 2020. The governor was one of the first to ban vaccine mandates and refused to say whether he got a booster shot before his recent railing against shots for young children. Ladapo was appointed the state's surgeon general. The state advised against giving Covid vaccines to healthy children after Ladapo compared the health benefits of vaccinations to eating fruit and vegetables. The FDA, CDC and most of the top public health experts have stated that Covid vaccines are safe.
According to a poll released by the Kaiser Family Foundation, most parents of children under the age of five don't want their children to be exposed to Covid. Only 18% said they would get their children vaccine right away, while 38% said they would wait a while to see how the vaccine works for other people, and 27% said they wouldn't have their kids vaccine for Covid. If it becomes a requirement, another 9% said they would only have the vaccine for their children.
