A day after Zohran Mamdani won the election to succeed him, Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday told NYC’s municipal workers who lost their jobs during the pandemic for refusing to get vaccinated for COVID-19 that they can come back to work, if they so choose.
The offer applies to terminated employees in all mayoral agencies, including the FDNY and NYPD, as well as NYC Public Schools and the NYC Housing Authority. It is the second time since 2023 that the mayor has reopened the doors for former city workers who did not take the vaccine to return to work.
