and regulations issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the extremely fast-paced
changes taking place at the federal, state and local levels, please consult with counsel before
taking any action related to the subject of this alert so that all up-to-date information can be

On December 6, 2021, New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced a significant expansion of
NYC’s vaccine mandate. In December, COVID-19 vaccination proof requirements will be
expanded as follows:

• Employers: Starting December 27, private-sector workers who work in-person will be
  required to have one dose of the vaccine. Employees will not be permitted to opt-out
  through testing unless they have a valid medical or religious exemption.
• Full Vaccination: Starting December 27, people 12 and older participating in public indoor
  activities will be required to show proof they have received two vaccine doses, except for
  those who have received the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
• Children: Starting December 14, children ages 5 to 11 will be required to have proof of
  vaccination for the public indoor activities described further below. They must show they
  have received at least one dose of a vaccine.

The City announced that it would issue additional implementation, enforcement and reasonable
accommodation guidance on December 15th, along with additional resources to support small
businesses with implementation.
