LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted 4–0 on Feb. 8 to approve a proposal to terminate all unvaccinated county employees, after dozens of residents called in to oppose the measure.

The move would terminate about 18,000 county employees in various departments, with 4,000 of those workers being deputies in the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD).
