SAN DIEGO—The county Board of Supervisors voted 3–2 on Nov. 2 to keep a vaccine mandate for new employees in place, following a lengthy and occasionally contentious public hearing.
The new vote was taken in response to a letter challenging the mandate, which was originally passed on Oct. 5, also by a 3–2 vote. Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher, Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, and Vice Chairwoman Nora Vargas voted yes. Supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond were opposed.
