"The Washington, D.C., City Council is scheduled to hold a special session Friday to vote on a measure to reinstate a recently lifted COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the nation's capital. The move follows Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday lifting the vaccine mandate for businesses. Council member Brianne Nadeau, also a Democrat, quickly drafted an emergency bill to reinstate the vaccine requirement. The The measure, considered emergency legislation, will need nine votes on the xx-member council to pass. According to a recent poll, Washingtonians heavily favor the vaccine requirement that Bowser rescinded just one month after it went into effect. Nadeau argued that the mandate allowed residents to "go out to dinner, to go out for drinks, to go to the movies, to go shopping, because they haven’t had to worry about whether other people in that space are vaccinated." Nadeau said she want to "eradicate" the virus' high-contagious Omicron variant before getting rid of the vaccine mandate. "But then, we need to prepare for the next variant," she also said. "We just don’t know what’s coming down the road."
