Thousands of NYC workers to lose jobs Friday as vaccine deadline ends

Thousands of unvaccinated Big Apple city workers are set to lose their jobs Friday, which marks the end of the grace period to get a COVID-19 jab.

Nearly 4,000 of the city’s roughly 400,000 municipal employees are at risk of getting axed under the divisive mandate made by the previous administration in October, the city has said.

Mayor Eric Adams confirmed this week that he will go ahead with the terminations despite legal objections and a swell of protests, including a march to City Hall planned for early Friday.
