Legal Defense Fund

FSOMA Legal Defense Fund

The Legal Defense Fund was created by the FSOMA Board to help cover legal expenses for issues which threaten the practice of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. It is used to pay for legal consultations and to begin the funding of litigation if the profession needs to go to court to defend itself from outside attack.

The most recent use of this fund was to bring a lawsuit against the Board of Physical Therapy. FSOMA won a lawsuit in 2019 where the judge agreed that dry needling is acupuncture and that the Board of PT did not have the authority to make a rule allowing PTs to practice dry needling..

Know Before You Go

Demand for the COVID-19 vaccine is far in excess of the supply the state has received so far. It is anticipated that additional supplies will be coming soon.
Florida has many sites that are providing COVID-19 vaccines, but supplies are limited and appointments may not be available at many of these sites. The state is prioritizing:

Persons 65 years of age and older
Health care personnel with direct patient contact
Residents and staff of long term care facilities
Persons deemed to be extremely vulnerable to COVID-19 by hospital providers

Please be aware that some locations are only serving very specific populations, such as frontline health care workers.
Appointments may be required and vaccine availability will vary from day to day and week to week as we work to provide vaccines to the most vulnerable first.
