Florida families who want religious vaccine exemptions at Catholic schools are caught in a standoff between the state's attorney general and the church. Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski said on Oct. 19 that Attorney General James Uthmeier's stance on the issue amounts to "classic bullying," WLRN reported.
At stake is how Catholic schools that accept state scholarship students handle vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida require standard school vaccines and accept medical exemptions, but they do not accept religious exemptions. Uthmeier says state law requires them to.
