FILE - A health worker administers a dose of COVID-19 vaccine during a vaccination clinic in Reading, Pa. COVID-19 vaccinations are at a critical juncture as companies test whether new approaches like combination shots or nasal drops can keep up with a mutating coronavirus — even though it’s not clear if any change is needed."This was real. If we didn’t have that vaccine and we didn’t have those mandates, we would have lost so many more lives," Adams said.
Adams announced on Feb. 6 that the city would make COVID vaccines optional for current and prospective city workers, effective Feb. 10. The announcement came as more than 96% of city workers were fully vaccinated against coronavirus.
