A citywide vaccine mandate took effect Monday, requiring New York City municipal workers such as police officers and firefighters to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and just under three dozen police officers were placed on unpaid leave, the Associated Press reported.
More than 3,500 city workers were vaccinated over the weekend because of the approaching deadline. Other incentives were also given, such as a 5 p.m. Friday deadline to collect a $500 bonus for proof of vaccination before they were to be put on unpaid leave. "I want to thank everyone who got vaccinated," de Blasio said."Thank you for getting vaccinated. Thank you for doing the right thing. Thank you for moving us forward."
As of Sunday, 1 in 4 of the city's uniformed firefighters still hadn't gotten a first dose of the vaccine, as required.
