Los Angeles mandates Covid-19 vaccines for schoolchildren

LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — All children aged 12 and over who attend public schools in Los Angeles will need to be vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of the year, the city’s board of education ruled Thursday.

The vote by the Los Angeles Unified School District is the first by a major school board in the United States, and could set a precedent for other local authorities.
