The mayor’s initial vaccine requirement — which included a testing option — did not apply to public charter or private school workers nor day-care employees. But this stricter mandate applies to these nongovernment employees.
A majority of the D.C. Council has asked the mayor in recent weeks to remove the testing option and extend the vaccine mandate to charter school employees, child-care workers and other city contractors who interact with children.
