LOS ANGELES, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into the Southland's top stories, Golden State residents should know that a vaccine mandate for children attending K-12 schools in California could be on the horizon. Following the approval of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, the reality of a mandate draws near. But details of the mandate are unclear and have many some confused.
