San Diego Unified School District has discontinued the mandate requiring new employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a decision unanimously supported by the board. This move came after public health agencies, including the CDC and California Department of Public Health, revisited their regulations, declaring that COVID-19 is no longer an emergency. Concern was raised by a community member regarding the ongoing risks associated with vaccination, particularly in vulnerable populations, reflecting a broader discussion on public health safety amid changing mandates. Record-keeping for COVID cases will continue until 2026 to ensure ongoing monitoring.
San Diego Unified has unanimously ended the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for new employees, aligning with changes in public health regulations and recommendations.
The decision follows a review of regulatory changes and the recognition by health authorities that COVID-19 is no longer a public health emergency.
