With COVID-19 infection rates low, proposed COVID-19 vaccination mandates have been pushed off into the future. Will they return?
Major cities including San Francisco and New YorkCalifornia health officials dropped the proof-of-vaccination
But case rates and hospitalizations remain low across the country. And vaccines and treatments that reduce the risk of hospitalization have made the virus seem manageable rather than menacing. Anout April 12 found fewer than one in 10 Americans think COVID-19 is a serious crisis now, while three out of four think it’s a manageable problem, including four out of five Democrats, the dominant party in California.
For big urban school districts with large populations of unvaccinated students, and public agencies with many highly skilled workers who haven’t had the shots, the practical and political costs of enforcing vaccine mandates would be steep. At VTA, firing hundreds of unvaccinated workers could impact service in a transit agency already rocked by low ridership and a deadly mass shooting last year. Peralez, a mayoral candidate whose close friend was among those slain by the gunman, said VTA “should be incentivizing vaccination … but without penalty, discipline and certainly not termination.”
