The Boston City Council plans to hold a hearing today to scrutinize Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's mandate that workers be vaccinated against COVID-19:
Former Mayor Kim Janey previously worked out a deal with unions to give employees the option of either getting vaccinated or submitting weekly test results. After Wu took office last fall, however, she removed the testing option and said workers must be vaccinated unless they qualify for an exemption.
Wu recently said she plans to use a number of measures, including hospitalizations and the city's positivity rate, to decide when to ease certain citywide COVIDsuch as a requirement to show proof of vaccination to enter indoor venues like restaurants and gyms. Murphy said the city council also wanted to give the city an opportunity to publicly explain its reasoning behind the vaccine rules.
