Los Angeles Unified School District mandates COVID-19 vaccine for students
The Los Angeles Unified School District’s Board of Education voted unanimously to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for all eligible students.
The vote is a landmark move for the nation’s second-largest district, which has over 600,000 students and operates 1,200 schools in the LA area.
All students ages 12 and up will be required to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 10, 2022, unless they have a “medical or other exemption,” the school district said.
The resolution had initially called for all students ages 12 and up to be fully vaccinated no later than Dec. 19.
