Covid-19 has had a major affect on the world. Federal and local vaccine mandates are going to be put into effect across the U.S. For example, Los Angeles has just approved its strictest vaccine mandate. Starting November 4, people 12 and older are required to be fully vaccinated before entering an indoor establishment. Furthermore, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that all elementary through high school students will be required to get the vaccine when it becomes available to their age group. The mandates have been working as the vaccination rates have increased. In particular, New York teachers have a 96% vaccination rate. As the vaccine mandates are being put into affect, we can foresee that the vaccination rates will increase.
