Those who take part in vaccination programs that are federally funded for children nationwide must respect conscience and religious exemptions from vaccine orders, according to a story published by The Epoch Times.
According to a Sept. 4 letter from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Civil Rights, the Vaccines for Children Program (VCP) makes available vaccines to children whose parents or guardians may not be able to pay for them, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“States have the authority to balance public health goals with individual freedom, and honoring those decisions builds trust,” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement. “Protecting both public health and personal liberty is how we restore faith in our institutions and Make America Healthy Again.”
In the meantime, Florida’s state Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo, announced that it plans to put an end to all vaccine mandates, including for students to attend schools. Ladapo, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, considered the matter of vaccination as one of personal choice.
“Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery,” Ladapo said at a press conference in Tampa. “Who am I as a government or anyone else, or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what to do with your body??
Vaccine prerequisites for students to attend school, public and private, are currently in effect in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The District of Columbia and 29 states permit exemptions on religious grounds, while 14 states allow exemptions for religious, personal, or philosophical objections, according to The Epoch Times.
