Hospital workers protested outside of their hospital Monday against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the state of California.
Dozens of demonstrators were outside the facility for a two-hour rally that began at 8 a.m. as nurses and doctors protested California's vaccination mandate, which was announced on August 5 by the California Department of Public Health.
All health care workers in hospitals, nursing facilities, clinics, doctor's offices and others are required to present their proof of vaccination by September 30.
Protesters shouted, "It's our body, our choice," outside the Children's Hospital Orange County and Providence St. Josephs Hospital.

The order applies to those who provide services or work in hospitals, nursing facilities, psychiatric hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. It also includes dialysis centers and residential substance use treatment centers and at least a half-dozen other facilities.
