The Los Angeles school board delayed the implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students for a second time in 2022.

The school board had first announced that it would enforce a vaccine mandate for all Los Angeles students starting in January 2022 but later delayed enforcement until the start of the 2022–2023 school year.
