“We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike, to really do something bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the dangers it’s causing to all of us,” de Blasio said in an interview with MSNBC. “So as of today, we’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure. Our health commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board.”
According to Councilman Mark Levine, who chairs the council’s health committee, there will be a weekly testing option.
BREAKING: NYC is strengthening vax screening at indoor public establishments like restaurants & theaters. * Will include 5-11 yr olds (as of 12/14) * Will require a 2nd shot, not just single shot (as of 12/27)
These are much needed measures in the face of our delta/omicron wave. — Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) December 6, 2021
New York City previously imposed vaccine mandates for city workers, but this would be the first-of-its-kind for private employees.

The city will also extend the vaccine mandate for indoor activities to include children ages 5 to 11. Starting Dec. 14, kids in that age group will be required to show proof of at least one shot.
Then on Dec. 27, people ages 12 and older will need proof of both doses, except for those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The mayor and health commissioner are expected to provide more details at their 10 a.m. briefing. You can watch live on CBSN New York.
You don’t have that power you delusional marxist.
“Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new vaccine mandate for private companies Monday.”
The courts say not.
How is he getting away with this? How???
The mayor is shoving anything he wants into the public commode he created before he leaves office.
Thanks to the silicon chip, there no longer exists the need for big central urban locations to do business. If this “mandate” becomes law, NYC will not have to worry about congestion pricing.
Well there will go half the work force of/in NYC.
Because there are still sheep willing to live and do business in NYC and follow the rules imposed by this moron
When the elected officials, media, and courts all agree on limitation of freedom, it is almost impossible for the very small minority of citizens to combat even overt tyranny. That is not to say they should not stand. Of course they should, but the difference it makes may be to the second generation, not the first.
Geez….now TX will be getting even MORE NYers moving here. We’re full, between all of the other CA /blue state refugees.
😡🙃
...unless you come in through the southern border.
Lol! Minorities hardest hit. NYC can choke on it.
But democracy! We need to protect democracy!
Illegal, oppressive actions like this are just one more reason for companies to get out of NYC
de Blasio & crew, determined to destroy a great city step-by-step
(and Big Media says nothing)
So we are going to have blue states were abortion is legal (privacy and right to do to your body want you want) and vax’s are mandatory (my feelings trump your body rights, and we need to know what you have in your body).
Reds are opposite.
This is NOT going to end well
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
I wouldn’t give a sh!t if this loser required everyone in NYC to stop the spread of COVID by setting themselves on fire.
Secretly Beato is not unhappy AOC screwed up the NYC Amazon deal...
We can out communist you. We can, we can, we can!!!
Mandate starting Dec 27 - DeBlasio leaves office for the new mayor January 3rd
