Los Angeles’ school district introduces vaccine requirements for all school students. All children over 12 who go to public schools must be fully vaccinated by January to enter the schoolyard, writes Los Angeles Times.
It becomes clear after a meeting of the school board in Los Angeles County, only one voted against, according to CBS.
600,000 students belong to the school district, and 220,000 of them are eligible to be vaccinated.
Los Angeles, which is the second largest school district in the United States, will thus be the first large school district to introduce such an injunction.
The school district listened to input from parents before the vote. Not everyone supported the injunction.
– I do not want experiments to be done with my child, said one according to Fox LA.
It is expected that there will be attempts to stop the order with legal action. That is the opinion of lawyer Scott Davison, who represents the organization Let them breathe, which until now has fought against bandage orders in schools.
– We know vaccines are effective in preventing serious illness. The question around corona vaccines is whether they are needed among children who are already in a low-risk group.
However, medical experts have not opposed the injunction, on the contrary. LA County Health Director Barbara Ferrer thanked the school board for emphasizing the importance of using vaccines as one of the most important weapons against the corona pandemic.
Next week is the “re-election” in California. Here, it will be voted on whether to cast Gavin Newsom from the Democrats.
If the voters answer yes, one of the 46 candidates will be elected as the new governor. Many of the candidates are opposed to vaccine orders, including radio host Larry Elder, who has emerged as one of the leading candidates.
On Thursday, it was also announced that President Joe Biden will introduce vaccination rules that imply that 100 million Americans are required to be vaccinated.
At a press conference on Thursday, he spoke in clear text to those who still have not been vaccinated, even if they have had the chance.
