This afternoon.

Via ABC:

In New York City, where a vaccine mandate for municipal workers is now in effect, 18 fire companies are out of service due to sick calls Monday, but no firehouses are closed and the mayor said there were no immediate disruptions to city services.

Nearly all New York City municipal workers, including police officers, firefighters and EMTs, had until 5 p.m. Friday to get at least one shot or be placed on unpaid leave, starting Monday. While the official deadline was Friday, those who got vaccinated over the weekend will not be placed on leave.

Meanwhile…

The percentage of FDNY employees who have received at least one dose increased to 80% from 78% on Saturday, and NYPD vaccination rates remained the same from the previous day, at 84%, according to the data.

New vaccination rates released by de Blasio’s office at 8 p.m. ET Sunday show that 11 of 44 city departments listed by the mayor increased by at least 1% since Saturday night.

As of Sunday night, 22,800 workers remain unvaccinated, according to the data. That’s down from 46,300 reported October 19, the day before the vaccine mandate was announced.

From Saturday night to Sunday night at least, 1,400 NYC employees received at least one dose, based on the data provided the mayor’s office.

    Where’s there’s risk, there should always be choice.

    When it’s your body, there should always be choice.

    If my house was burning down, or a burglar was in it, I’m fairly sure I’d prefer unvaccinated cops/firemen to turn up than nobody, due to 20% of the workforce being on forced leave… But maybe thats just me.

      Reducing your paramedic personnel by a fifth coming into a spike in CoVid-19 season is bizarre- it is politics- nothing to do with a pandemic.

      Chaos was/is part of the plan. We’re in for a rough few years. But don’t worry, a bunch of oligarchs will come up with a solution..

    If you’re arrested by a cop do you not have a right to be protected from a virus that the cop doesn’t bother protecting himself from? And we all know how up, close and personal an arrest can be. Covid is the biggest cause of death by far for cops in the US. We don’t know if they get it from each other or from close contact with the general population. (See first sentence above!)

      The ‘vaccines’ offer no protection from catching and spreading Covid-19. Even mainstream news sites have reported as such.
