The mayor’s office explained the New York Post those numbers reflect as of July 13.
Six months ago, Adams laid off over 1,500 government employees who declined to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate Feb 11 deadline. Such employees who were let go included 914 in the Department of Education, 36 in the New York Police Department, and 25 others from the city’s fire department.
Nonetheless, officials did not provide a list of departments where the city cut the additional 200 jobs.

“City workers served on the frontlines during the pandemic, and by getting vaccinated, they are, once again, showing how they are willing to do the right thing to protect themselves and all New Yorkers,” Adams announced in a statement earlier this year.

Right after Adams terminated the unvaxxed city staff, he net backlash from police and fire associations.
NBC New York reported Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, who once estimated up to 500 firefighters would face the risk of termination because they refuse to comply with the mandate, called out the mayor for exempting New York City-based professional athletes and performers from the citywide mandate.

“If you’re gonna force people to get vaccinated because the science changes, you also have to acknowledge that you’re allowing people to have exceptions because the science changes, and it’s no longer necessary,” Ansbro announced.
Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch explained to NBC New York that the union has been suing the city over its arbitrary and capricious vaccine mandate.
“New York City police officers were on the street throughout the pandemic, working without adequate PPE and in many cases contracting and recovering from COVID themselves,” Lynch announced. “They don’t deserve to be treated like second-class citizens now.”

Last month, Adams offered city workers who were fired because of the mandate to get rehired by the city if they showed proof of receiving one dose of the vaccine by June 30, with plans to get the second shot by Aug 15. Although, the number of former employees who took Adams up on his offer remains unknown.

“Our administration is making a final effort to allow the small number of employees who have been terminated to be rehired so long as they get fully vaccinated,” a spokesman from the mayor’s office told the New York Post, continuing his “goal has always been vaccination, rather than termination.”
The spokesman reports over 97 percent of city workers were vaccinated.
