NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio Announces New Vaccine Mandate For All City Workers, Eliminates Testing Option
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday announced a new vaccine mandate for all city workers.
All public workers (160,000 people) must be vaccinated against Covid – the testing option has been eliminated.
“The vaccine is what has allowed us to fight back against COVID and save tens of thousands of lives. And there’s still a lot of city employees who are not vaccinated,” Bill de Blasio told CNN Wednesday. “I want to protect them. I want to protect their families. I want to protect all the people that they come in contact within this city.”
“Law enforcement has borne the brunt of COVID. In this nation in the last two years, 460 law enforcement officers have been lost to COVID.
