New York City Fires 1,430 City Workers For Defying Vaccine Mandate

Up to 4,000 workers faced a Friday deadline to provide proof of full vaccination status or face termination.

New York City fired more than a thousand workers who failed to comply with the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the mayor's office said Monday.

The 1,430 workers who lost their jobs represent less than 1% of the 370,000-person city workforce and are far fewer terminations than expected before a Friday deadline to get the shots.
