Biontech and Pfizer’s corona vaccines have been fully approved in the United States. The city of New York has now announced the mandatory injection of the vaccine for all school employees.
Among other things, teachers and all other officials and people in contact with students should have received at least one dose by September 27, said Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday in New York. At first it remained open what would happen to those who nevertheless refuse to be vaccinated.
Blasio tells Delta to fight
“New York City sends a strong message: we will do everything we can to fight the Delta variant, to fight Covid.” This was the opinion of the mayor de Blasio with a view to the increasing numbers of infected people.
The full approval of the Biontech / Pfizer vaccine is a turning point in the fight against the pandemic. Previously, vaccination skeptics in many areas of public life were given the option of avoiding vaccination through regular tests.
In New York, almost all Covid restrictions had fallen at the beginning of the summer in view of the advancing vaccination campaign. However, the delta variant recently heated up the spread again. The largest US city could now follow similar decisions in other cities.
