New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that all municipal workers – including police officers, sanitation workers, and teachers – must receive a COVID-19 vaccination by September 13th or submit to weekly COVID-19 tests.
The requirement applies to 340,000 workers. The vaccination rate among police officers is especially low – 43% according to NY1.
Five million New Yorkers have already gotten jabbed, but nearly two million have not.
