New York City is relying on its previous vaccination or weekly COVID testing policy for Department of Education employees, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday, as a stopgap while the latest temporary injunction against his mandate requiring at least one dose for all those staffers plays out in the court system. It was the second 11th-hour temporary block of de Blasio's vaccination mandate as legal battles over the constitutionality of such requirements continue. An attorney representing Department of Education employees says opponents of the mayor's school mandate just want a weekly test option scribed into the rule for those who, for whatever reason, do not want to be inoculated against COVID. #NEWS4NOW #NBC4NY
