Why are WeHo’s vax rules stricter than the rest of LA’s, and how do restaurant owners feel about it?

West Hollywood is poised to have the strictest COVID-19 vaccine mandates in LA. Starting October 7, LA County will require proof of vaccination to enter indoor bars, breweries, wineries, and nightclubs. West Hollywood decided to add indoor restaurants, gyms, yoga studios, nail salons, and more to that list.

“West Hollywood operates on its own vibe, its own way of doing things, and wants to do its part to keep the city healthy,” says Mona Holmes, reporter at Eater LA.
