Unvaccinated NYPD, FDNY, and DSNY (New York Department of Sanitation) members will be terminated on Feb. 11, unless they comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine rules.

Letters obtained by The Epoch Times, written by the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) and the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA) to its respective members, indicate that the NYC Mayor has decided to proceed with the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirement that threatens noncompliance with leave without pay and termination.
