Florida Senator Ileana Garcia introduced Senate Bill 188, which aims to mandate medical examiners document recent vaccination histories (within 90 days) in sudden infant and young adult death cases, submitting this data to national registries. This proposed legislation seeks to enhance data collection on potential links between vaccinations and sudden deaths, addressing current gaps in Florida law and national CDC registries, which some argue underestimate sudden unexplained deaths and have historically overlooked connections between vaccines and SIDS. Public health advocates support the bill, believing comprehensive data will provide crucial insights into vaccine safety and potentially inspire similar legislation in other states.
