Mayor de Blasio is set to announce a coronavirus vaccine requirement for all municipal employees Wednesday, The Post has learned.
The city workers — including firefighters and cops — will have to get their first shot by Nov. 1, sources told The Post.
Currently, only Department of Education staff are required to be vaccinated, but de Blasio has long considered extending the mandate to all 300,000 city workers.
The current vaccination rate among the city’s workforce stands at about 83 percent. That number is significantly lower among cops and firefighters.
The NYPD has a vaccination rate of 69 percent among its 55,000 cops and civilian members.
Among members of the FDNY, the vaccination rate was even lower. Just 59 percent of smoke eaters have gotten the jab.
Pat Lynch, the president of the Police Benevolent Association, has said “the COVID-19 vaccine is a medical decision that members must make in consultation with their own healthcare providers.”
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea has said that he fully supports a mandate for police officers, citing the virus’ recent toll on cops.
“We lost three members last week, two of them to COVID, and I think it’s all unnecessary, to some degree. And I just, everyone I think, all across this country, really, should be embracing these vaccines,” Shea said Tuesday during an interview on NY1.
The virus was the leading cause of death among police officers across the country since the pandemic began — far exceeding the death toll by gunfire, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.
The news about the mandate did not sit well with one Brooklyn elected official.
“The mayor has no idea what he’s doing. We’re going to lose half of our cops and half of our fire department if this goes through, and then what?” the official said.

Thankfully we live in a free market economy. They can get a job elsewhere. Apparently, there’s a labor shortage.
Our idiot Mayor and his idiot health staff ignore the following:
The most you could say, is that vaccine efficacy against infection has faded to the point that it is beyond the ability of government statistics to measure it.
But it’s actually worse than that. Public Health Scotland publishes similar vaccine surveillance statistics based on their own data. Their most recent report shows the same trend, though less pronounced: Higher rates of infection for the unvaccinated in the 0–29 bracket, and higher rates of infection for the fully vaccinated in all ages over 30. It’s almost like the vaccines are fading not to a baseline of zero, but to a point of negative efficacy.
It is now an indisputable fact that the vax doesn't work and that it may actually make you MORE vulnerable. But you better get it, because Science!
It is also, by a gigantically wide margin, the most dangerous vaccine ever released, with tens of thousands of directly attributed deaths and who knows how many injuries, as the health "authorities" are desperately trying to hide the data.

Well, that's the best thing that could ever happen to the city. Hopefully the other half will quit too. NYPD have been doing nothing except beating up protestors for the past few years. They are badly trained, disgruntled and pretty much beyond repair. They have lost complete control of the traffic system and now we have reckless motorists speeding all over the place and murdering cyclists and pedestrians.
FDNY are ok but are totally overrated. They are still resting on their laurels from all the hero worship after 911. Watch them in action. They are slower than a fat Trump Turd on a Scottish golf course.
Replace them with immigrants who are willing to work and not spend all their time feeling sorry for themselves. This "Nobody loves me so I'm not going to do my job" act has gone on too long.
And the bellowing weak traitor leftists all called Donnie boy an authoritarian Hitler. Turns out the left loves mandating and nazi decrees as long as its them doing the bossing. All for the public health Im sure.
Injecting chemicals in people by mandate is against the Nuremberg Code.
Dermot Shea, are you requesting angiograms also to prevent heart attacks?
Maybe full body CT scans to prevent other health issues?
No. You only want gene therapy shots, so called "vaccines" injected in everybody.
As far as the loser DeBolshevik in concerned, he can shove his mandate where the sun doesn't shine.
One day these people will be tried just like the Nazis were for crimes against humanity.
Forcasted profit for Pfizer and ModeRNA for next year - $96 billion.
Buys a lot of politicians, doctors, activist with plenty left over for profit.
Cops and firemen don't want their immune systems destroyed by the vax. Now they want to destroy kids too.
Good for him. After 4 years De Blazio finally woke up.
I'm sure the usual Trump Turds will whine and cry about their freedoms, while they set about creating a world where no-one will have freedoms except them.
More salt in your "Freedom Fries"
@"The virus was the leading cause of death among police officers across the country since the pandemic began — far exceeding the death toll by gunfire, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page."
Goes to show. Cops aren't too smart.
@“ all called Donnie boy an authoritarian Hitler. ”
And he is. He doesn’t believe in democracy. He wants freedoms for himself and family only.
Prove me wrong ..,
@Cops aren't too smart
Smarter than you, they passed a test and now have a good paying job with benifits !
Prove mw wrong...

Here people on display is a mentally disturbed communist activist.
These are the losers George Soros money buys, directly or indirectly.
LOSER.
@"These are the losers George Soros money buys, directly or indirectly."
He does? Id better call him up and have him wire some cash over if that's the case. Do you have his number? If not, could you ask Q for it?
Thanks.
The Sheeple.
@"you the only one whining Xi Jinping turd. take your agenda 21 activism and shove it."
What is "agenda 21" ? is this a Q drop? The latest directive from Tucker? Or is it from the minutes of an AA meeting? Or maybe one day when your were tripping and thinking back to
your misspent youth in a hippie commune, you suddenly came up with this?
Is it possible that it's something from the communist manifesto that your nurse reads to you every day?
@"Here people on display is a mentally disturbed communist activist.

Since when did wanting to replace an incompetent workforce with a competent one become communism?
Do you even have any idea what communism is?
Do you know what capitalism is?
Do you know what planet you are on?
I'm sure the answer to the last three questions is a big no.
Stop being cowards and get the shot. You got one for Polio. Grow a set.
