Contractors and unions expressed skepticism about the enforcement of New York City’s vaccine mandate on all private-sector workers.
The announcement on Dec. 6 applies to employees working in person in New York City, and will go into effect Dec. 27, just days before outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio makes way for Mayor-elect Eric Adams in January.
But the requirement of all private-sector workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 drew immediate pushback, according to the Wall Street Journal, and will likely face legal challenges before moving forward.
