New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to announce an order that would mean some 46,000 city workers need to get their first shot by Oct. 29 or potentially lose their jobs. The city’s roughly 8,000 corrections workers have until Dec. 1 to get shots.
New York City is requiring that all of its municipal workforce get vaccinated against Covid-19, eliminating the option for testing and joining a group of state and local governments with similar mandates.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced an order Wednesday that means some 46,000 city workers need to get their first shot by Oct. 29 or potentially lose their jobs. The new rule covers 160,500 workers, of whom about 71% are partially or fully vaccinated, according to official estimates. The city said 70% of police and 60% of fire department personnel have received at least one shot.
