New York Mayor De Blasio has mandated that all New Yorkers must be vaccinated if they want to go to work.  Public Sector workers have already had to be vaccinated, but now the mandate will include the private sector.

Residents have until December 27th to comply. The mayor has also urged other cities to follow his lead.

“This would be my advice to mayors, governors, CEOs all over the country – use these vaccine mandates. The more universal they are, the more likely employees will say, OK it’s time I’m going to do this, because you can’t jump from one industry to another or one company to another. It’s something that needs to be universal to protect all of us.”
