WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following comment about the Washington, D.C. Council’s decision to further delay its COVID-19 vaccine mandate that would prohibit unvaccinated schoolkids from 12 to 15 years of age from attending school in person. The mandate is particularly harmful to black students, who are vaccinated at a lower rate than other students.

If the D.C. vaccine mandate is enforced, many D.C. students may fall even further behind in school.
