Why has NYC enforced vaccine mandates?

Published

New York is the latest city to enforce vaccine mandates, with the mayor announcing that all workers will need to be protected against Covid-19 if they want to go to work

This mandate already applies to public sector employees, but this latest policy will extend to the entire private sector as well.

Coming into effect on December 27, Mayor Bill de Blasio says his city has got Omicron as a new factor, the colder winter months and holiday gatherings and “vaccine mandates are the one thing that breaks through.”

New York will also be the first US city to mandate Covid jabs for all private sector workers, with the regulations affecting around 184,000 businesses.

The previous mandate for the public sector was initially met with resistance and hesitation… but now vaccination rates have risen in response.

This all comes as ten cases of the new Omicron variant have been detected in New York, with Omicron thought to be more transmissible than previous strains.
