Vaccination Deadlines Loom For City Workers

President Joe Biden announced the rule in September.

The start of the weekend means uncertainty for New York City on Monday morning.

"If you're a city worker, you need to be vaccinated," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "We are here to keep you safe, so you can keep everyone else safe."

City employees had a 5 p.m. Friday deadline to show proof of at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, something nearly a fourth of city employees — tens of thousands of workers – still hadn't done as of Thursday.
