a senior and the senior opted to get vaccinated and the sophomore didn't. and i didn't force it on them. i'm letting them make their own decision. none of this is easy, and i recognize there's still anxiety out there. governor newsom says vaccination for students and staff simply follows the data he announced the new rules at a san francisco school. but critics like this east bay father of two call mandates overreach. what else can we mandated? you know the governor who we elected to help run the state do a lot of things. he didn't let him to be our doctor. don't let them to make the medical decisions for our family and our kids. newsome defends the order as his most predictable of the pandemic, since children already get a slew of shots in order to enroll every parent has had this conversation. since they brought their kids into school, public or private. they have to be vaccinated. school districts are free to move even faster than the state and some have passing their own campus vax

requirements. others will wait for details on how to provide so many shots and independent learning for those who opt out. i would encourage our families to get back some nated as soon as possible. we have over 33,000 students in fremont unified and we want to see each and every one of them be successful and with children at relatively low risk for serious illness. some experts say shots should come with a commitment to making their lives more normal. restricting kids lives should be. we should have an in point. we should have metrics for when the masks come off to it for when quarantines end a achievable vaccination rate of state 80. when the mandate begins school staff who have been able to take a weekly test as an alternative to vaccine will no longer have that choice. and although parents can apply for waivers for their kids, andre it's still unclear just how tough those exemptions are going to be to get. some parents want to take advantage of that. to be sure depth. thank you so much. meantime, state superintendent 30 thurman.

applauding governor newsom for reacting or enacting a covid vaccine requirement for students. in a statement, thurman said, quote i have no doubt that today's announcement by the governor will lead to safer schools and safer communities. i look forward to working with the governor, his administration, school districts and school communities across the state to implement this important change. sonoma county's health officer today issued a health order requiring flu shots for healthcare workers. the flu vaccine requirement applies to all workers who have direct or indirect exposure to patients or residents. workers include nurses, physicians, technicians, therapists and pharmacists at facilities such as acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. workers must be in compliance by november 15th. anyone granted in exemption must wear a surgical mask or respirator while working in indoor settings. it's a nationwide the number of new coronavirus cases is on the decline. new cases of fallen to
