The Los Angeles City Council is considering making vaccines a requirement in order to go to restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters. The idea comes after New York City implementing a similar vaccine mandate.
Nury Martinez, the L.A. City Council President, said, "Enough is enough already. We have three vaccines that work and are readily available, so what's it going to take?"
Mayor Eric Garcetti, said that while he doesn't endorse the idea, all things should be considered.
A spokesperson for the Mayor, Alex Comisar, said, "The Mayor shares the sense of urgency to get more Angelenos vaccinated. He isn't taking anything off the table, and is continuing to discuss this approach with our public health experts at the County."
