A warning has been issued to Catholic schools in Florida. The state's attorney general is calling for these schools to accept exemptions from vaccination requirements. This move is related to the schools' participation in taxpayer-funded voucher programs.
The attorney general's letter references Catholic teachings and argues that rejecting vaccine exemptions for religious reasons is not in line with Catholic doctrine. The letter suggests that failing to comply with state law could result in losing eligibility for certain scholarship programs. Further details on this matter are available from the original source, including the full content of the attorney general's letter to the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.
