Los Angeles County’s sweeping mandate requiring all county employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 took effect at midnight on Oct. 8, leaving unvaccinated county employees uncertain of their fate.
Los Angeles Board of Supervisors Chair Hilda Solis issued an executive order in August mandating that all county workers be vaccinated by Oct. 8—an order which the rest of the board later ratified. Under the mandate, employees are to either be fully vaccinated or get a COVID-19 test each week and “eventually get vaccinated, unless they are exempted for health or religious beliefs,” Supervisor Sheila Kuehl told The Epoch Times in a previous interview.
