for employees set to go into effect this week, officials at the fire and police departments are scrambling to deal with potential staff shortages.
Separately, Commissioner Dermot Shea said the New York Police Department is also making plans for shortages. Mayor Bill de Blasio said he wants the employees to get vaccinated by Friday. "If they don't, they're going off payroll," In a statement shared with CNN, Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said the department will continue to provide necessary services to the city.
