I read that Governor DeSantis back tracked and is approving the vaccines for children. Governor DeSantis has 3 young children. Is he now planning on vaccinating them? I don’t hold much hope for Ron Johnson either. I feel like they do just enough to control opposition. There is a pandemic in Washington. It is a complete lack of ethics and a moral compass. Emergency Use and experimental inoculations for innocent infants and children. Dear God.
I did thank you. I misspoke. I didn’t do my usual research. I support Governor DeSantis wholeheartedly. I should have corrected the record so thank you for the opportunity to do so.
Florida/DeSantis is standing against this all. Here is a notice sent to all Florida physicians this morning. Note the starred paragraph below:
PROVIDER ALERT: Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines
Contrary to disinformation circulating, the vaccine ordering process has not changed in Florida. COVID-19 vaccine ordering – including for the 6 month to 5 year age group – has always been available to providers. Following the Emergency Use Authorization issued today, June 17, 2022, enrolled providers are able to order COVID-19 vaccines for the newest authorized age groups through Florida SHOTS.
Per this Emergency Use Authorization, the following is now authorized:
• Moderna COVID-19 vaccine 2-dose primary series for children ages 6 months to 5 years (25 mcg),
• Moderna COVID-19 vaccine 2-dose primary series for children ages 6 through 11 years (50 mcg),
• Moderna COVID-19 vaccine 2-dose primary series for adolescence ages 12 through 17 years (100 mcg),
• Pfizer 3-dose series for children ages 6 months to 4 years (3 mcg).
Florida's decision to not participate in the cumbersome vaccine pre-ordering process never prohibited vaccine supply from being ordered or from being available in Florida.
According to the federal government, vaccines will be delivered as early as next week to:
• Pharmacy partners (CVS, Walgreen’s, Publix),
• Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs),
• Health care providers who place orders through Florida SHOTS.
*****The Florida Department of Health (Department) does not recommend pediatric COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children. The currently available evidence on COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 6 months to 5 years is inadequate for assessing risks and benefits. *****
The Department encourages parents to discuss vaccination decisions directly with their children’s health care providers, which is exactly why providers are charged with ordering the vaccines they need.
Last year, the State of Florida shifted COVID-19 response to an effective locally-led effort. COVID-19 is endemic and health care providers are charged with managing patient care. All health care providers are expected to maintain awareness of evolving COVID-19 prevention and treatment options, including:
• Evusheld is a long-acting monoclonal antibody for pre-exposure prophylaxis, for immunocompromised patients, including cancer and/or transplant patients.
• Paxlovid and Molnupiravir are available oral antivirals for COVID-19 treatment,
• Bebtelovimab is a monoclonal antibody treatment for high-risk COVID-19 positive patients.
Health care providers can find more information about these medications and where they can be located here.
State of Florida wasn't going to order but it was always available for individual doctors/hospitals/pharmacies to go through the forms to order the shots themselves. There was just not going to be a statewide push for it.
Thank you Mea for providing the background research. I didn’t research this so that is why I stated I hope I am wrong. I am a supporter of Governor DeSantis. No issues there. Any pediatrician that is planning to prescribe this to infants and children should sign a waiver that they have read the data and are prescribing anyway. They should not be protected from liability by Prep act EUA either. I am not holding my breath. I am still in the fight to protect children. Will never give up. Thanks again for clarification. Sounds like we are on the same page.

You need to get a better source of information.
