It is the second time in six months that alderpeople have called an emergency meeting of the City Council to publicly push back against Lightfoot’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The measure set for consideration Wednesday calls on city health officials to make COVID-19 policy that includes “natural immunity.”
Data released Monday by Lightfoot’s office shows 2,367 members of the Chicago Police Department are not vaccinated. Another 199 members of the department never reported whether they had been vaccinated against COVID-19.Lightfoot told reporters Wednesday she would enforce the vaccine mandate, and expected the majority of officers get vaccinated before facing termination.
“I don’t know what world these people live in,” Lightfoot said. “And I certainly wouldn’t expect that from elected leaders in the city of Chicago. Maybe some other place. Maybe some other party.”Officers and other city employees who refuse to get vaccinated will be disciplined — but there will be no “mass firings,” Lightfoot said.
