Podcast: Expanded California Student Vaccination Mandate

(LOS ANGELES) — The Los Angeles Unified School District student vaccination mandate expanded beyond the district after California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that all students aged 12 and above will be required to be vaccinated by next fall.

All students in grades 7-12 are expected to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 come this fall semester. This announcement from the state’s governor is similar to the requirement LAUSD had for students within the district. Mark Lewis, a faculty member within the Redondo Beach Unified School District, told The Click that he supports the governor’s mandate and feels safer going to work with this mandate in place.

This podcast contains music from Blue Dot Session and audio from LAUSD board members gathered by the Associated Press.
