NYC's private businesses will no longer have to require in-person employees to be vaccinated beginning Nov. 1, marking an end to one of the strictest COVID-19 mandates in the country. The city will continue its vaccine requirement for municipal workers.

Rather, the decision’s immediate impact was felt in the response from municipal unions, who argued that the city is unfairly imposing a double standard. As of late August, the city government continues toHarry Nespoli, the chairman of the Municipal Labor Committee, which represents a group of city worker unions, protested the mayor’s decision in a letter to his administration on Monday.
“This announcement is more proof that the vaccine mandate for New York City police officers is arbitrary, capricious, and fundamentally irrational,” he said in a statement. The city’s firefighters unions said that about 200 FDNY employees are facing termination for refusing to get vaccinated.
