New York City will no longer mandate that private employers require all of their workers to be vaccinated for Covid-19, and children will no longer have to be vaccinated in order to participate in sports or other after-school activities, NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced on Tuesday, the New York Times reports.
With potent new bivalent boosters now available, and now that 89 percent of city residents, including children, had received at least one dose of a vaccine, Adams said it was time to usher in a new stage of flexibility for parents and businesses, although he left a mandate for city workers in place.
“It’s time to move on to the next level of fortifying our city,” he said.
