SAN FRANCISCO — In the first such action in the nation, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a mandate Friday requiring all eligible public and private schoolchildren in California to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a policy the state expects to affect millions of students by fall 2022.

The mandate would take effect for grades 7 through 12 the semester following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s full approval of the vaccine for children ages 12 and over, according to the governor’s office. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade would be phased in after the vaccine is formally approved for younger children.

The mandate could take effect for students 12 and older as early as January 2022 if there is full federal approval for a COVID-19 vaccine for that age range, the governor said in remarks at a San Francisco school.

Currently, only individuals 16 or older are eligible to receive a vaccine that has full approval from the FDA. Children as young as 12 have been able to receive the vaccine under emergency authorization. For that reason, state officials expect the mandate to begin taking effect next fall.

1. He is a trailblazer. Remember when he issued marriage licenses to gay couples n San Francisco.

2. People keep demanding that they want to "get back to normal"

and especially those who want (or need to have) "in person" learning in the schools. These are the types of steps needed to do so.

3. Every vaccination helps the world.

The world needs all the help it can get. Tears for those lost.

5. I'm hearing recall $$ signs lighting up again...

The man is doubling down and taking care of business.

I can guarantee next visit to the parents, I'll be hearing about it.

6. Elections have consequences!

Newsom has won in a landslide in the Gubernatorial election and won an even bigger margin in the recall. Thats right, he has a mandate to implement the mandate.

San Diego's school board just voted on Tues that all staff and students in the city, the state's 2nd largest district, must be vaxxed. The vote was unanimous and came after a hundred anti-vaxxers protested at the meeting.

9. The outrage in our area is deafening

After reading some of the horribly misspelled comments from the parents talking about homeschooling I'm trying to figure out why they are punishing their kids.

10. Agree

I know of a woman "home schooling" the kids.

She cannot even spell the name of the place I've lived in for 20 years.

Some teacher!

11. I have never seen anything like this

I have never seen the phrase Nazi Germany used in the wrong context so often in such a short period of time. These people have a serious victim mentality and of course I would never poke the bear.

12. The goody two-shoe persona

It is all so ... fake!

FAKE!

Just like others that believe The Lie !!
