L.A. City Council Finally Ends Covid Vaccination Requirement For Municipal Employees


More than a year after the Los Angeles City Council lifted the city's declaration of emergency related to Covid, council members today ended the vaccination policy.

In addition, the ordinance established a pathway back to employment for city workers who had been terminated for not adhering to the policy, and others who may have left voluntarily. Some 15 people spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting to express their support for the ordinance and frustrations with city leaders for imposing the policy on workers. In 2023, several Southern California cities have phased out their requirements for workers to be vaccinated against Covid as a condition of employment, including Long Beach, San Diego and Pasadena.
