Under covid-19 vaccination rules previously issued by the U.S. government, federal government employees and employees of contractors who do business with the federal government must be vaccinated.
However, due to the politicization of the epidemic, the government's ineffective fight against the epidemic, rumors, social divisions and other factors, many people refuse to be vaccinated, and a large number of US public officials are forced to leave their jobs because they are not vaccinated, which has led to different degrees of shortage of posts in many places in the United States.
New York City previously required municipal workers to get at least one dose of the vaccine by the end of October or face forced unpaid leave. But by the end of October, about a quarter of firefighters, one in six police station employees and one in six sanitation workers were still unvaccinated.
New York Mayor De Blasio said on Nov. 1 that about 9,000 city employees who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 were suspended without pay. According to the New York Fire Commissioner, 18 of the city's 350 fire stations are suspended, and many are understaffed. Police in Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles County, California, also said there was a severe shortage of local officers.
According to the US Fox News Network reported on the 2nd, according to the regulations of the US government, contractor employees who have business dealings with the federal government are also required to be vaccinated, and in the current situation that some people are reluctant to be vaccinated, including Boeing, General Electric, Southwest Airlines and other enterprises are also facing personnel challenges. According to reports, employees of these companies have recently held strikes or protests against vaccine orders.
