WASHINGTON — Breaking from several of his potential rivals for the White House, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Tuesday that parents should “absolutely” vaccinate their children to preserve the health and safety of those around them.
“Unless they are immune suppressed for medical exceptions, but I believe all children should be vaccinated,” Rubio said following a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Cuba, which he chaired.
