All New York City public school staff will be required to receive at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot by September 27, a mayoral rep confirmed Monday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce the mandate Monday morning.
The latest ramp-up of the mayor’s push to get more New Yorkers inoculated against the virus comes after City Hall rolled out a proof of vaccine or weekly test requirement for the municipal workforce, and a COVID-19 jab mandate to enter indoor settings — including Big Apple restaurants, bars, museums and movie theaters.
The measure also follows the FDA’s long-awaited approval of Pfizer’s two-dose coronavirus vaccine.
