Just 67% of 12-17-year-olds and and 38% of 5-11-year-olds have had the primary two-shot COVID-19 vaccine series.
A bill that would have eliminated personal belief exemptions for the state student COVID-19 vaccine mandate was withdrawn by the author last spring, citing a need to increase vaccination rates. At the same time, the California Department of Public Health announced it was delaying the statewide mandate until at least July 2023. Oakland, West Contra Costa, Los Angeles and other districts have since said they would align their requirements with the state.
The California Department of Public Health said Wednesday that it “continues to emphasize and conduct outreach regarding the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and supports youth vaccination campaigns and school-located vaccination programs.” But regarding the pending statewide mandate, the department said only that “we continue to strongly encourage all eligible Californians, including eligible children, to get vaccinated.
Kevin Snider, a lawyer with the Pacific Justice Institute who is handling a similar case against West Contra Costa Unified School District, said Wednesday that the appellate ruling “closely tracks the arguments that parents made” in West Contra Costa, and “the impact of the recent ruling will likely be significant.”
Stella Miranda, whose three grandchildren attend West Contra Costa Unified schools and who is part of a group of families fighting the district’s vaccine mandate, said Wednesday she was encouraged by the appellate court ruling. She said she opposes the vaccine requirement because the shots are relatively new and mostly been given under emergency use authorization.
