California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that his own daughter, who recently turned 12-years-old, has not received her COVID-19 vaccination despite the state's mandate for students.
The governor said, according to the Los Angeles Times, that his daughter has not been vaccinated because she has "a series of other shots to get first."
Last week, California became the first state in the country to implement a vaccine mandate for school children at least 12 years of age following approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
"Our schools already require vaccines for measles, mumps, and more," Newsom said of the statewide mandate for students.
This is not the first time that Newsom has been accused of hypocrisy for exempting himself and his family from coronavirus restrictions he urges others to follow.
Last year, Newsom was photographed dining indoors with 11 others at a lavish restaurant without masks despite telling state residents to avoid large gatherings.
According to California's COVID-19 website, only 56 percent of children ages 12 to 17 are fully vaccinated while just over 8 percent are partially vaccinated.
