113 L.A. firefighters placed on leave over city’s vaccine mandate

A total of 113 Los Angeles firefighters who have so far failed to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate have been placed on unpaid leave, according to a Southern California News Group report Monday.

All city workers, including firefighters, have been told to get vaccinated or seek a medical or religious exemption by Dec. 18. Those who haven’t done either could potentially lose their jobs.
