Newly-minted New York City Mayor Eric Adams said his “next move” in office is considering implementing a COVID booster mandate for city workers.
“We’re going to examine the numbers. If we feel we need to get to the place of making that mandatory, we are going to do that,” Adams said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” calling it his administration’s “next move and decision.” “But we’re encouraging them to do that now.”

Adams’ comments came after he released a COVID plan on Thursday that included “immediately” studying whether vaccine mandates would need to include required booster shots.
Critics slammed Adams on Twitter over the weekend for embracing many of de Blasio’s virus policies, calling the new mayor “de Blasio 2.0” and said he was “building on a legacy of unscientific, anti-people, commerce-killing policy failures!.”
