Eighty-six percent of the New York City&nbsp;Police Department (NYPD), for example,&nbsp;is vaccinated, up from 70 percent at the&nbsp;announcement of the mandates. Similarly, the&nbsp;Department of Sanitation New York (DSNY) and&nbsp;New York City Fire Department (FDNY) are also&nbsp;reporting an increase in vaccinations since the announcement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>As of November 1, after the mandate went into effect, 9,000 employees were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/04\/bill-de-blasio-9000-unvaccinated-city-workers-unpaid-leave\/\">placed<\/a> on leave without pay.

The mayor has given municipal workers until 5 P.M. tonight to get vaccinated and has also eliminated the option to get tested weekly.
