California first state to require all teachers, school staff to get vaccinated or tested weekly

before returning to campus, or submit to weekly testing for Covid-19, state authorities said Wednesday., sayingit's the only way for in-person education to return safely in the fall.

"To give parents confidence that their children are safe as schools return to full, in-person learning, we are urging all school staff to get vaccinated. Vaccinations are how we will end this pandemic,” Newsom said in a statement. “As a father, I look forward to the start of the school year and seeing all California kids back in the classroom.”Dorene Scala teaches third grade during summer school at Hooper Avenue School on June 23, 2021 in Los Angeles.“There’s no substitute for in-person instruction, and California will continue to lead the nation in keeping students and staff safe while ensuring fully open classrooms,” said Dr. Tomás J. Aragón, the state's top public health officer.

“Today’s order will help the state’s continued efforts to increase vaccinations, similar to the orders encouraging state and health care workers and businesses to get vaccinated.”Wednesday's order could pose some political risk to Newsom, but the state has generally embraced vaccinations as 53.7 percent of Golden State residents have been fully inoculated, according to a rolling count by NBC News.

Unvaccinated must pay for their own testing.

At who's expense?

👏👏👏

Weekly testing isn't good enough. Twice a day would be better for accuracy.

thanks

Great, so the oandemic will be over in about 2 months

Reminder that if you are a minor and your parents won’t consent, you can still get vaccinated! Look up your state laws on minor consent, or have an older friend or family member take you. Protect yourself if your parents won’t✨

Control. Control. Control. If you think for one second this government cares about your health you are just as sleepy as sleepy Joe.
