Related: About this forum2,300 NYC firefighters call out sick as vaccine mandate begins, but mayor says public safety not dis
disruptedHundreds of New York City firefighters called in sick Monday morning as the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for municipal employees went into effect, bringing the total number of sickouts in the fire department to 2,300, FDNY Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said at a news conference.
Normally, 800-1,000 fire department employees call in sick on any given day, FDNY spokesperson Jim Long told CNN.
Nigro said many people calling in sick were protesting the vaccine mandate.
"If you're sick, you're sick, it's a dangerous job. I get it. If you're not sick, I want to see you back at work," Nigro said.

against authority.
