It will now be up to individual business owners to decide if they want to maintain a vaccine requirement.
"This puts the choice in the hands of New York businesses," Adams said. "It is imperative that we are asking them to continue to encourage their employees to get their vaccines and booster shots.""This announcement is more proof that the vaccine mandate for New York City police officers is arbitrary, capricious, and fundamentally irrational," he said.
"It's appalling that the city is now creating a three tier system, originally exempting the elite, now one for the private sector and still nothing for the essential workers of our city," Harry Nespoli said. "It's long past time that the city drop the vaccine mandate for all public sector workers.
At the same time, Adams and Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan announced a new city-wide vaccination drive promoting booster shots."I'm thrilled to roll up my sleeve and get boosted and encourage all eligible New Yorkers to do the same," Adams said. "The new bivalent booster is here, providing better protection against variants we are seeing now and quite likely against variants in the future as well.
With the recent rollout of bivalent booster shots by the FDA, the new campaign will encourage all eligible New Yorkers to get their booster shot for an added layer of protection for themselves and those around them.
