On 7/27/21 at 8:36 PM EDT
Los Angeles officials announced Tuesday that city employees will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or submit to routine testing and provide weekly proof of negative tests in order to keep their jobs.
LA Mayor Eric Garcetti and City Council President Nury Martinez said they would move to instate the new requirements once COVID-19 vaccines receive full Food and Drug Administration approval. Currently, vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna and
Janssen have emergency use authorization.
"I support having all city workers vaccinated," said Martinez, who has called a special council meeting for Wednesday to discuss the potential mandate.
