New York City is ending its COVID vaccine mandate for private sector employees but not for municipal workers. NatDuddridgeTV has reaction from City Hall:
"We are removing the requirement to be vaccinated to participate in sports and extracurricular activities. We're removing that requirement for our school children. Although, that removal is no indication that we don't believe boosters are important and vaccinations are important," he said."We will also provide additional flexibility to businesses by lifting the private sector mandate on Nov. 1. This puts the choice in the hands of New York businesses.
However, municipal workers, like police, firefighters, teachers and sanitation workers, are still required to be vaccinated.Now-retired sanitation worker Robert Atkins told CBS2's Natalie Duddridge he was all for the mandate when it first took effect. But he and many others Duddridge spoke with outside City Hall believe all workers -- private or public -- should be held to the same standard.
"I think everyone should be vaccinated and fully. Everyone, doesn't matter city or private, doesn't matter," another person added.
