LOS ANGELES—Mayor Eric Garcetti said Oct. 20 that any city employee who refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 18 “should be prepared to lose their job.'’
The deadline was initially Oct. 20 for Los Angeles’ mandate that all city employees be vaccinated. However, under a proposal submitted Oct. 19 by the city administrative officer, pending city council approval, workers would have until Dec. 18 to show proof of vaccination.
