What it means
The Florida Legislature enacted this statute to protect public health by preventing the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in schools and childcare settings. The law requires children attending public or private schools to provide documentation of required immunizations using the Florida Certification of Immunization (DH Form 680) before enrollment. The Florida Department of Health establishes and enforces immunization requirements based on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Schools must verify vaccination records, and exemptions may be granted for medical or religious reasons. This policy helps maintain herd immunity and reduces the risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases among school-aged children. This is important to prevent the spread and/or recurrence of diseases we have eradicated. This statute allows for children to maintain health safety in the school environment.
