L.A. County court will fire employees who don't get coronavirus vaccine after full FDA approval
Hilda Solis, chair of the County Board of Supervisors, issued an executive order requiring county employees to provide proof of vaccination by Oct. 1.To expedite their release amid the pandemic, the FDA approved a handful of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use, which is a step short of full approval. The New York Times reported this week that the regulatory agency is aiming to give its final sign off to Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine by early September.
The court’s sweeping order goes beyond those announced elsewhere, including the city of Los Angeles and the state of California. Several jurisdictions have recently begun to require employees choose between getting vaccinated or submitting to regular testing. Court employees were offered no testing option and explicitly threatened with losing their jobs if they do not comply. L.A. County announced this week it will require all employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct.
“Our aim is, no one is going to get fired over this,” Ferreira said. “I don’t think if you are unvaccinated, you should be fired. No other government agency is doing this.” He wondered why the 45-day mandatory window starts with the full approval of one COVID-19 vaccine, when several are currently available.
