Here is the Florida Senate webpage, look for S 2006 e2

https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/2006/?Tab=BillText

Here is some of the text for that Bill.

1097 4. Ordering an individual to be examined, tested,

1098 vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable

1099 diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and

1100 present a severe danger to public health. Individuals who are

1101 unable or unwilling to be examined, tested, vaccinated, or

1102 treated for reasons of health, religion, or conscience may be

1103 subjected to isolation or quarantine.

1104 a. Examination, testing, vaccination, or treatment may be

1105 performed by any qualified person authorized by the State Health

1106 Officer.

1107 b. If the individual poses a danger to the public health,

1108 the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation

1109 or quarantine. If there is no practical method to isolate or

1110 quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any

1111 means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.

If you look at the bottom of the page of text you see that the Bill went in to effect on July 1st, 2021. Desantis himself may never forcibly vaccinate Florida residents but who is to say future dictators would not use this to do the unthinkable. This should have never been signed in to law. This bill needs to be amended to remove this wording from the bill. Perhaps Desantis didn't read the bill or didn't grasp the ramifications of the bill. We should make our concerns known to him.
