SAN JOSE, Calif. - In what could be an unprecedented move in California, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo on Tuesday announced his idea to make all city employees and visitors who enter city-owned facilities to get a booster shot or third round of vaccinations.
His office said that if the proposal passes the City Council vote, San Jose could become the first city in the Golden State with such a mandate, where employees could be terminated if they don't.
The issue will be heard at the Rules Committee on Jan. 5. Currently, San Jose requires proof of full vaccination to all city-owned facilities such as the SAP Center, Convention Center, Montgomery Theater, San Jose Civic and Center for Performing Arts.
