Judge rules NYC vaccine mandate for public schools can proceed

Flashback: In August, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that all Department of Education employees would need at least one dose of the vaccine by Sept. 27.

• But last week's injunction prevented the mandate from being enforced until the court reviewed and approved it.

What's next: It's unclear if the city will enforce the vaccine mandate tonight as was originally scheduled or if they will wait until later this week to begin enforcing it, the Times reports.

• Union leaders have called on de Blasio to delay the mandate, arguing that schools were not ready to deal with possible staffing shortages as a result of it.
