Mayor Eric Adams eyes end to employer vaccine mandate ahead of MLB Opening Day
NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday he expects to eventually roll back the city’s coronavirus vaccine mandate for private sector employers — but won’t make any exceptions for star athletes in the meantime.
The city’s rules requiring all employees to be vaccinated have benched Nets star Kyrie Irving, and with baseball’s opening day approaching they are expected to block some members of the Yankees and Mets from playing.
“We’re going to continue to peel it back,” Adams said of the vaccine rules at an unrelated press conference in Queens. “I’m going to continue to do so. But I’m not going to be rushed in based on a season schedule.”
Earlier this month Adams repealed rules that required fans at sporting events as well as patrons of indoor restaurants and other entertainment and cultural venues to show proof of vaccination. But a separate mandate, requiring private employers to verify that all their workers are vaccinated, remains on the books.
