Outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced a “first in the nation” vaccine mandate for all people who live and work in New York City. During a media appearance on MSBNC this morning, the mayor said: […] “as of today we are going to announce a first in the nation measure, our Health Commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sectors employers across the board. All private sector employers in New York City will be covered by this vaccine mandate as of December 27th.”
Three days before he leaves office, the compulsory vaccine mandate goes into effect. [NPR Link] The mandate applies to all private and government sector workers and businesses. The mandate also applies to children over the age of five. All parents will be required to vaccinate their children and there will be no testing option.

No one in New York City will be permitted to avoid being defined as “fully vaccinated”, and that definition is likely to change as determined by the need for booster shots as dictated by government officials. The era of the full vaccination passport has arrived in New York City.
Details of the new mandate will be released on December 15th, after the city has an opportunity to evaluate the backlash. However, it is widely anticipated that enforcement mechanisms will be put into place with police officers from the Ministry of COVID Compliance doing random checks on businesses and patrons.
There are no details on the tourist side of this equation, but it would only be common sense to say that any/all visitors to New York City would have to be compliant with the city standards within the vaccination mandate. In essence, New York City is walling itself off from the non-‘fully‘-vaccinated with whatever level of boosters the city would require to be vaccine compliant for entry.
