State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo speaks in 2021 after being named to his post by Gov. Ron DeSantis.TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Continuing a long-running clash with federal health officials, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration on Wednesday recommended that people under age 65 not receive newly approved COVID-19 booster shots.
The CDC recommendation came a day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of vaccines that it said are “formulated to more closely target currently circulating variants.” The Florida Department of Health guidance, however, said “the most recent booster approval was granted in the absence of any meaningful booster-specific clinical trial data performed in humans.” It also contended that the “federal government has failed to provide sufficient data to support the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.”
“Based on the high rate of global immunity and currently available data, the State Surgeon General recommends against the COVID-19 booster for individuals under 65,” the guidance said. “Individuals 65 and older should discuss this information with their health care provider, including potential concerns outlined in this guidance.”
DeSantis on X took aim against the vaccine, labeling people as guinea pigs who take the mRNA “jabs”.
