The Los Angeles Unified School District will require all students 12 and older to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by Jan. 10, the district says; LAUSD is the first major school district in the U.S. to mandate the vaccination for eligible students.

after the board of education approved the plan at a special meeting Thursday."A medical and scientific consensus has emerged that the best way to protect everyone in our schools and communities is for all those who are eligible to get vaccinated. This policy is the best way to make that happen."

With more than 600,000 students enrolled, LAUSD is the second-largest school district in the country, and it already requires students and employees to undergo weekly Covid-19 testing regardless of their vaccination status. Students with “qualified and approved exemptions and conditional admissions” will still be able to opt out of getting the shots, but the proposal does not spell out what those might be.

The vote comes as Covid-19 cases have been on the rise across the United States because of the delta variant.

Why don't they ask the Govt to provide a benign safe traditional vaccine like India's Covaxin, instead of going this route. Covaxin was at FDA's door and they kicked it down the road. Best safety profile, good with variants. But not one of the big boys. Kids pay price.

Poor kids.

This is wise. Unfortunately not withstanding other pressing issues, vaccines mandates will be the main issue pushed by the GOP in midterms.

This is literally violating the amendment

The vaccine have more side effects for teenagers than for adults.
