About 81% of Americans age 5 and older have had at least one dose as of Feb. More than 923,000 people in the US have died from COVID-19, and vaccination rates have slowed despite the surge of the omicron variant. The group of terminated employees - less than 1% of the city's 370,000 government workers - included 36 police officers and 25 firefighters. On Monday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city had fired 1,428 government workers for not complying with the COVID-19 vaccine requirement, per The New York Times. However, as some cities lift their vaccine requirements for consumers, many city workers are still facing deadlines to get vaccinated or lose their jobs. Wu cited metrics showing that Boston had reached all three thresholds for ending the requirement: less than 95% of ICU beds occupied, hospitalizations under 200 per day and a local case positivity rate under 5%. Paul also ended its proof-of-vaccination requirement for indoor venues.īoston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Friday that that the city's "B Together" vaccine requirement was suspended, effective immediately. Seattle's King County also decided Wednesday to drop all vaccine requirements for indoor activities and large outdoor events starting March 1.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia announced it was tying vaccine requirements to specific COVID-19 metrics and that vaccine proof would no longer be required for indoor dining.
