βAlmost six months after a newish New York City Mayor Eric Adams told people frustrated over ongoing COVID vaccine mandates to get over it, the Democrat is officially pulling the plug on the unprecedented pandemic program — at least as far as the private sector goes.
Adams announced Tuesday that the strictest-in-the-nation COVID vaccine requirements for private businesses –implemented by his predecessor as the South African variant fueled case and hospitalization surges across the five boroughs in his waning days in office — will end on Nov. 1. But he said the same rule for municipal employees will stay.
