KPBS REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS REQUIREMENT TO HAVE WORKERS IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS VACCINATED BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

YOU MAY NOTICE THE POLICE PRESENCE HERE.

WE JUST TALK TO A LIEUTENANT WHO SAYS THERE WERE NO ARRESTS OR REPORTS FILED BUT THERE WERE TENSIONS ON BOTH SIDE.

THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2:00 P.M. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS GOT ON THE STREETS AT THAT POINT.

SOME NO VACCINE PROTESTERS SHOWED UP AT THAT TIME AND THAT IS WHEN WE ALSO SAW SOME COUNTER PROTESTERS.

THEY ARE REQUIRING HOSPITALS, SKILLED NURSING AND OTHER PEOPLE TO BE VACCINATED.

BUT SOME THAT WE TALKED TO WITH OUT VACCINATIONS SEE THE CURRENT PROTOCOL SHOULD BE ENOUGH.

IS BACK WE WERE MASKS AND FACE SHIELDS AT WORK.

WITH SOME OF THE ADULTS I HAVE BEEN AROUND AND OTHERS, I HAVE NOT CAUGHT IT WITH THOSE RESTRICTIONS.

I LOVE WHERE I WORK AND I LOVE THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH.

IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I CANNOT WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I HAVE WORKED OTHER PLACES AS I HAVE MOVED AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH MY HUSBAND.

IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I COULD NOT FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO IF THAT IS WHAT I DECIDE.

>> Reporter: THAT WOMAN WHO IS A REGISTERED NURSE WANTS TO WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD BUT SHE SAID THAT COULD MEAN WORKING OUT OF STATE.

THERE ARE EXEMPTIONS FOR MEDICAL AND RELIGIOUS REASONS.

THIS IS ABOUT 80% OF THEIR STAFF ARE ALREADY VACCINATED.

THEY SAY THEY DO NOT CONDONE THE STOP THE MANDATE RALLY AND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF COMMUNITIES AND THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

THERE IS A SEPARATE ORDER THAT SAYS THAT HEALTHCARE WORKERS HAVE TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION STATUS OR AT LEAST BE TESTED ONCE PER WEEK.

AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, THAT GOES INTO EFFECT THIS COMING WEDNESDAY.

HERE NEAR THE HOSPITAL I AM AT MATT HOFFMAN REPORTING FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE PENTAGON IS GOING TO REQUIRE MEMBERS OF THE U.S. MILITARY TO GET THE COVID-19 VACCINE BY SEPTEMBER 14.

THE DEADLINE COULD BE PUSHED UP IF THE VACCINE RECEIVES APPROVAL OR IF INFECTION RATES CONTINUE TO RISE.

THE DECISION COMES AFTER PRESIDENT AYDEN TOLD OFFICIALS TO DEVELOP A PLAN AS PART OF A BROADER CAMPAIGN TO INCREASE VACCINATIONS IN THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE.

>>> IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE PANDEMIC, THE TRENDS ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS ARE GOING UP.
