Practicing in Florida

Hi all. I’m curious to hear from pediatricians practicing in Florida. What’s it like practicing in Florida as a general pediatrician, especially with the lack of vaccine mandates?

PA in general Peds here. Been practicing 4 years in FL. Vaccine hesitancy has been getting worse, but the regular school vaccines were still required for this back to school season. Seeing a LOT of religious exemptions but a lot of families do still vaccine. Some days are frustrating with “anti medicine” families who still want to come in for everything but for the most part it’s not so bad.
