All private employers in New York City will need to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for their workers by later this month, the city’s mayor has announced, calling the measure a “preemptive strike” against the potential spread of the Omicron variant.During an interview on MSNBC on Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the mandate – set to take effect on December 27 – also aimed to prevent a surge in new coronavirus infections during the colder winter months.“We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the dangers it’s causing to all of us,” de Blasio said. “All private sector employers in New York City will be covered by this vaccine mandate as of December 27.”
