Feds rebuke Florida surgeon general’s advice to young men on COVID vaccine

The Food and Drug Administration on Monday responded to the results of Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo’s analysis of COVID-19 data that he says point to a risk for some men who get the shot.

Ladapo recommended against COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for men ages 18-39, a decision that contradicts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine guidance and has invited confusion and criticism from the medical community.

In response, federal government representatives reaffirmed their stance that the benefits of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines continue to outweigh potential risks for all age groups.
