Speaking on Monday, [NYC] Mayor Bill de Blasio said he expected no disruptions as a result of some 9,000 city employees, or about 6% of the 378,000-strong workforce, getting put on unpaid leave for failing to get a shot. Those workers must show proof of at least one vaccine dose to return to work, according to the Oct. 20 order.

Last-minute compliance with the order substantially reduced the number of employees who might have been affected. "More than half of the workers who haven't been vaccinated yet have submitted exemption requests and those requests are being processed," [de Blasio tweeted].

The rate of vaccination of Emergency Medical Services workers had risen to 87% from 74% on Thursday, while the fire department went to 77% on Friday from 64% the previous. [The president of NYC's firefighters' union] said the mandate would force dozens of fire companies to shut down. More than 2,000 of the city's 11,000 firefighters have taken sick days in the week leading up to the mandate going into effect.
