New York City will require police officers, firefighters and other municipal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be placed on unpaid leave.
More than 2,600 LAPD employees have indicated that they plan to pursue religious exemptions, while more than 350 plan to seek medical ones, according to a source in city government.
In Washington state, as of Tuesday, 127 state troopers have been fired for defying a vaccine mandate, and another 32 have resigned or retired rather than get inoculated against COVID-19. In Massachusetts, a police union said at least 150 state troopers are resigning over the state’s vaccination mandate.
