On December 6, 2021, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio surprised employers by announcing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that, starting December 27, NYC will mandate vaccines for all private-sector workers. The mandate is expected to affect around 184,000 employers.
In part, the mandate requires proof of two vaccine doses for workers who have received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccinations and, presumably (although the announcement did not provide such detail), proof of one dose for those vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccination. At this point, there is no requirement for proof of a booster shot as well.
