  California to require all eligible students to get a COVID-19 vaccine pending FDA approval – A vaccine mandate for all eligible California schoolchildren could go into effect as early as Jan 1, 2022. California Governor Gavin Newsom made the announcement on Friday, Oct. 1. The mandate will go into effect the quarter following FDA approval, which Newsom said could be July 1, if not in January. Exemptions for getting the COVID-19 vaccine include medical, religious and personal beliefs. The government has already given final approval for the vaccine for anyone 16 and older. The mandate will go into effect in two phases: During the first phase, when final approval comes for anyone 12 and older, the state will mandate vaccines for students in seventh through 12th grades.

Sacramento nurse, Carly Rinaldi, had been vaccinated, but she said forcing it didn't sit well with her. "I'm not okay with my friends and colleagues needing to make a choice or lose their job. I'm not comfortable with going to work with whatever reduction of work force is not coming to work with me after the mandate," she previously told ABC10. Now, the Sept. 30 deadline for health care workers, including assisted living facility workers, to get vaccinated or get an exemption is here.

It comes after a February report by the Black Minds Matter Coalition, “Suspending our Future,” which singled out the school district for suspending Black students at a higher rate than any other in California. While their daughter wasn’t suspended, Charles Washington and Heather Washington-Morris said their 12-year-old student was unfairly targeted after an incident in an Albiani Middle School locker room in August.
