New York state teacher's union opposes staff vaccine mandates
A union representing teachers in New York on Monday came out against the state's vaccine mandate for public workers, saying while it does encourage teachers to get vaccinated, it will not support a requirement.
"We have advocated since the beginning of the year that any educator who wants a vaccine should have easy access to one," the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) union said in a statement.
"We would support local efforts to encourage more vaccinations, such as through programs that require that those who are not vaccinated get tested on a regular basis. But it's critical that districts come up with plans to make testing available on-site and at no cost. What we have not supported is a vaccine mandate," NYSUT added.
According to the union's website, it currently represents more than 600,000 members who work in education, human services and health care in New York.

They're available at every pharmacy, pharmacies in grocery stores, Walmart, and there are also state-run sites. And many take walk-ins. It doesn't get "easier" than that.
