The head of one of Chicago’s police unions estimated that more than 3,000 officers are refusing to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine reporting mandate, coming as the city sent out several threatening memos to officers in recent days.
“The unofficial number we have is about over 3,200“ or ”about a third of the department,” Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara told CBS Chicago. Over the weekend, the city said that all city workers need to report their vaccination status.
