- Mayor Eric Adams said the city also will end its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for student athletes, effective immediately.
- New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for public workers will remain in effect.
- The Police Benevolent Association, a police union, argues Adams’ decision to rollback private-sector vaccine mandate yet keep public-sector one bolsters his members’ legal challenges.
- “Now that the city has abandoned any pretense of a public health justification for vaccine mandates, we expect it to settle our pending lawsuits and reinstate with back pay our members who unjustly lost their jobs,” an association leader said.
