184,000 businesses, companies and businesses are affected. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Monday that all employees in the private sector would be subject to a Covid vaccine obligation as of December 27. This measure goes further than the vaccine obligation demanded by Joe Biden , which only concerns employees of companies over 100 people . This national measure was to enter into force on January 4, but is currently suspended by a court decision.
“Here in New York, we have decided to launch a pre-emptive attack (against the coronavirus) to really do something daring to stop the progression of the Covid and the dangers it poses to all of us,” said Bill of Blasio on the MSNBC channel. He said that all “private sector employers in New York would be affected by the vaccine requirement from December 27,” or some 184,000 businesses, companies and businesses.

Moreover, from the same date, “New Yorkers aged 12 and over will have to show proof that they have received two doses of the vaccine”, with the exception of those who have received Johnson & ‘s single dose serum. Johnson, said the mayor, who will step down on December 31 to be replaced by Eric Adams, elected on November 2.
Last week, New York City had already strongly recommended the wearing of masks indoors for everyone, regardless of vaccination status. She had also announced new vaccine obligations for nursery nurses and employees of private schools. Previously, she had already demanded that all municipal employees be vaccinated.
Many of the city’s large employers already require staff to be vaccinated to return to their offices, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The presence of the Omicron variant is now confirmed in at least 15 US states – with a few cases in New York State.
