Health Emergency: City Mandates Vaccinations For Children And Adults Or Face $1,000 Fine
New York City Accounted For Two-Thirds Of All U.S. Measles Cases Reported Last Week

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The city has declared a public health emergency and mandated vaccinations for children and adults or risk facing a $1,000 fine.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the unusual order amid what he said was a measles crisis in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg section, where more than 250 people have gotten measles since September. Officials blamed the outbreak on “anti-vaxxers†spreading false information.
The order applies to anyone living, working or going to school in four ZIP codes in the neighborhood and requires all unvaccinated people at risk of exposure to the virus to get the vaccine, including children over 6 months old.
The city can’t legally physically force someone to get a vaccination, but officials said people who ignore the order could be fined $1,000. . .

So "the city can’t legally physically force someone to get a vaccination", but they sure a heck would do exactly that if they thought they could get away with it. Bloody fascists.
As for the $1,000 dollar fine, how will they go about proving that someone has not been vaccinated?

If you don't have paper you got vaccinated, you were not vaccinated.
