EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. (KRON) — Only a few Bay Area school districts have opened so far for the new 2021-2022 school year, but COVID infections are already being reported among teachers and students.
State Senator Josh Becker (D-San Mateo) is calling on school districts to require that all teachers and school staff must be fully vaccinated, or submit to regular testing.
“We are in the middle of a crisis that can be ended within weeks if people simply get vaccinated,” Becker told reporters at a news conference held at Ravenswood Family Health Network in East Palo Alto. His district includes San Mateo County and Santa Clara County.
