As troubled governor Andrew Cuomo is on his way out tonight a vaccine mandate has made way into NYC ‘s public school system. On Monday, Mayor Bill De Blasio announced that all public school employs (understood to be about 143,000 of them) are required to have the COVID-19 vaccination without a testing alternative. It is understood to be a landmark decision and likely will cause other states to follow suit with their vaccination efforts.
CNN reports that the mandate must still be negotiated with the local teachers union that represents much of common New York life inside public schools.
