Florida has a plan to drop school vaccine mandates. But it likely won’t take effect for 90 days and would include only chickenpox and a few others unless lawmakers decide to extend it to other diseases.

Florida’s immediate plan would lift mandates on vaccines for hepatitis B, chickenpox, Hib influenza and pneumococcal diseases, such as meningitis.
