We will not adhere to these @CDCgov mandates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Virginia, parents matter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Advisers to the CDC voted on Oct. 20 to recommend including the COVID-19 vaccines on the next version of the child and adolescent immunization schedules, which will be published in early 2023.\u00a0The CDC still has to adopt the recommendation, but the agency has been aggressively pro-vaccine since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Studies and data have shown that children have the lowest risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms, hospitalization, or death.\u00a0Meanwhile, more than 20 states have already prohibited COVID-19 shots from being mandated for students to attend school, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nashp.org\/states-enact-policies-to-support-students-transition-back-to-school\/\">according<\/a> to the\u00a0National Academy of State Health Policy.<\/p>\n<p>While the CDC doesn\u2019t have the power to mandate what vaccines are given to children, some school districts and states could require them to attend schools or even preschools.<\/p>\n<p>Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Robert Califf noted on Twitter, \u201cWe need to be clear that the benefits outweigh the risk of vaccination, but mandates are not the remit of either CDC or FDA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, also a Republican, echoed Youngkin\u2019s sentiment on social media\u2014as did other Republicans, including Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always said mandates are the wrong approach and Tennessee has led in pushing back on federal COVID vaccine requirements,\u201d Lee said on Twitter. \u201cThanks to our work with the General Assembly, Tennessee families won\u2019t be impacted by today\u2019s CDC vote. We\u2019ll continue to stand for Tennessee children and for personal freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know a lot of parents are concerned about that,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MariaLeaf\/status\/1583170267328655360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1583170267328655360%7Ctwgr%5E866232844aa5b228aa7c8cbf28be5d71a1621ac3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonexaminer.com%2Frestoring-america%2Fcommunity-family%2Fvirginia-will-not-adhere-cdc-covid-shot-mandate\">said<\/a> during a news conference Thursday in Fort Meyers. \u201cAs long as I am kicking and screaming, there will be no COVID shot mandates for your kids. That is your decision to make as a parent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has said that he does not recommend COVID-19 vaccines for children under the age of 18. Citing a state-backed analysis, Ladapo also said he doesn\u2019t recommend mRNA COVID-19 shots for males aged 18 to 39.<\/p>\n<p><em>Zachary Stieber contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jack-phillips\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13\/Jack-Phillips.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Phillips\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Breaking News Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack Phillips is a breaking news reporter at The Epoch Times based in New York.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virginia Gov.
