New York City this week will end a controversial Covid-19 vaccine mandate for city employees, ending a policy that has at times pitted the city’s leadership against its municipal workforce
. The mandate, which has prompted numerous lawsuits, is set to end on Friday after the city’s Board of Health adopts amendments to the city’s vaccination policy, City Hall said in a news release. “With more than 96% of city workers and more than 80 percent of New Yorkers having received their primary Covid-19 series and more tools readily available to keep us healthy, this is the right moment for this decision.
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the Covid-19 vaccine requirement for all city workers in summer 2021 and it took effect that September. Employees who did not comply with the vaccine requirement or submit to weekly testing for Covid-19 risked losing their jobs. At the time, the policy was met with opposition from the city’s police and firefighter unions, which called the requirement an intrusion into personal health decisions.
