The availability of multiple vaccines has lessened the viruses' effects for many — offering relief to what had been an overwhelmed public health system.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Children in California won't have to get the coronavirus vaccine to attend schools, state public health officials confirmed Friday, ending one of the last major restrictions of the pandemic in the nation's most populous state.
Nearly all of the pandemic restrictions put in place by Newsom have been lifted, and he won't be able to issue any new ones after Feb. 28 when the state's coronavirus emergency declaration officially ends. "This is long overdue. ... A lot of families have been stressed from this decision and worried about it for quite some time," he said."I wish CDPH would make a bigger statement publicly or Newsom would make a public statement ... to let families know and school districts know that this is no longer going to be an issue for them."California has had lots of influence over the country's pandemic policies.
