Updated:

California has announced it would not implement any vaccine mandates for students to be able to attend public schools until at least mid-2023.

The state in October 2021 became the first in the country to announce a vaccine requirement for students to attend school. But the mandate has not come into effect because Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to fully approve the vaccines for people of ages within the 7–12 grade span.
