San Francisco becomes biggest U.S. city to require vaccine for municipal workers

San Francisco is now the largest municipality in the U.S. to say it will require all city workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, or else risk losing their jobs. The policy, posted on the city government's website on Wednesday, takes effect on June 28.

Roughly 35,000 city employees in the California city will have up to 10 weeks to get their jabs after the Food and Drug Administration grants full approval for the vaccines, which are currently authorized for emergency use only in the U.S. Employees have until the end of July to report their vaccination status through the city's payroll system. They're being asked to provide proof of vaccination by uploading a photo of their vaccination card, for example.
