l.a. city council voting unanimously to draw up an ordinance that would require in indoor public spaces people have so show proof of one dose of the vaccine. and we're talking about stores, first of all. restaurants and bars, gyms, maybe movie theaters as well as concert venues. they're looking to do this to encourage other people to get vaccinated. take a listen to what one city council member had to say about this? >> let's give our workers in retail all of the protection we possibly can. because not all of them are going to have the choice to protect themselves from someone who comes in to buy groceries or get a prescription who chooses not to be vaccinated. >> reporter: now overall the vaccination numbers in california are stronger than what we're seeing in other states like mississippi, which you just heard there. right now california is saying that more than 77% of people have gotten -- that are eligible have gotten one shot of the vaccine here. and you look at what california is doing as far as making sure that all of the people who work in schools now have to be vaccinated. that is som

l.a. city council, introducing this motion. thank you for being here tonight. tell us what you're doing and advocating. >> thank you. the intent of the legislation is to require eligible adults to at least get one dose of the vaccine if they want to enter into indoor places such as restaurants, bars, entertainment centers, gyms, spas, movie theaters, moving forward. the city council will consider this motion next week for a vote. >> and that makes a lot of sense. as mentioned, some other places have done it. again, helping people understand how this works, what do you say to those who look at this and argue that it's designed to push people, who say, well, okay, are you trying to make those places safer or are you just trying to withhold things and places from people so they'll get vaccinated, and if so, is that itself maybe a good public health idea? >> quite frankly, everyone is exhausted. angelenos have been asked to stay home and protect themselves and others. we are tired of having to explain to folks the importance of vaccination. our hospital workers are
