New York City’s new mayor Eric Adams is considering expanding Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate for city workers in the days ahead; weighing whether a booster requirement could be necessary to slow the spread of Omicron.
“We’re going to examine the numbers. If we feel we need to get to the place of making that mandatory, we are going to do that,” Adams said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” calling it his team’s “next move and decision.” “But we’re encouraging them to do that now.”
“We are at a critical moment in our fight against the pandemic,” Adams added.
