The state panel that regulates Florida’s pharmacists appears poised to jump into the debate over vaccines and vaccine mandates. The Florida Board of Pharmacy announced this week that it will have a discussion on 2025-26 Covid-19 vaccine administration as well as a rule allowing for “additional immunizations or vaccines.”The board’s actions comes after Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced a push to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those required of school-aged children. The pharmacy board is scheduled to will meet virtually on Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the rules. Unlike other medical boards whose members made political contributions to DeSantis or other Republicans, for the most part Board of Pharmacy members haven’t contributed heavily to politicians or political committees.
