Amid measles outbreaks, Florida Department of Health speaks out against ‘false information’
Fox News
Amid ongoing measles outbreaks at Florida schools, the state’s Department of Health released an updated statement on Wednesday, warning of "misinformation" from media reports.
Last week, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo issued a letter to parents urging them to make their own decisions about whether to send their children to school. "Any parent who is concerned for their child, regardless of their immunization status, may choose to keep their children home."

Typical guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is for unvaccinated children who have not had the measles to stay home for up to 21 days in the event of a potential exposure at school.
