All Los Angeles public school children 12 and older would have to be fully vaccinated by January to enter campus — sooner for students involved in many extracurricular activities — under a proposal to be voted on Thursday by the Board of Education
The student vaccine mandate is scheduled to be debated and voted on during a special and quickly scheduled school board meeting.
The Daily Pass allows a student onto campus and, up to now, has tracked weekly coronavirus test results. Parents and students also use the pass to self-report whether a student has symptoms.The resolution also stipulates that younger students would have to receive their first vaccine dose no later than 30 days after their 12th birthday and their second dose no later than eight weeks after that birthday.
The disease presents “a material threat to the health and safety of all students within the LAUSD community, and is a further threat to the successful return to continuous in-person instruction,” according to the resolution.The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine has received full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for individuals 16 and older. Those 12 and older can receive the vaccine under a federal emergency use authorization.
The special meeting was posted shortly after the school board emerged from a closed session Wednesday for which the only listed item was “anticipated litigation.”L.A. Unified has been sued multiple times over its COVID-19 safety measures. A vaccine mandate also could bring a lawsuit, district officials have acknowledged to The Times.
