NYC to expand vaccine mandate to the private sector Dec. 27 New York Mayor Bill de Blasio went all-in on vaccine mandates Monday, announcing a first-in-the-nation COVID-19 requirement for the entire private sector that will take effect after Christmas and mere days before Mayor-elect Eric Adams takes over City Hall.
Mr. de Blasio said roughly 184,000 affected businesses have until Dec. 27 to implement a vaccine mandate on workers.
The city also will require proof of vaccination for 5- to 11-year-olds for indoor dining and fitness and entertainment venues, an expansion of rules on anyone 12 and older. The requirement may spark a backlash from families that decided to forgo the shots, given the lower risk of COVID-19 illness in children.
Children ages 5 to 11 must be vaccinated by Dec. 14 to participate in extracurricular activities at school such as sports, band, orchestra and dance..............
