COVID-19 Vaccination Among NYC Municipal Employees

In July 2021, New York City announced a COVID-19 vaccination requirement
for all city employees.

Beth Rubenstein and coauthors examine how the vaccination requirement
impacted vaccination prevalence
<[link removed]>
among NYC municipal employees.

The authors find that the vaccine requirements were associated with a
significantly greater rate of change in COVID-19 vaccination prevalence
only after the policy became more stringent by eliminating an option to
test in lieu of vaccination.

The authors also examine effects by race and ethnicity and report that
"workplace requirements were also associated with narrowing the gap in
vaccination coverage between Black municipal employees and those from
other racial and ethnic groups."

Read more from the March issue of Health Affairs which includes research
about lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic
<[link removed]>
and how they can applied to future public health efforts.

Through the month of March, we're highlighting influential voices and
organizations who have made an impact on women's health equity and
policy.

Today, we're reflecting on the work of Chien-Chi Huang.

Inspired by her personal journey with cancer, Chien-Chi Huang
established Asian Women for Health
<[link removed]> in 2012. All of the
organization's programs and events provide upstream solutions, are
culturally responsive, and are gender-specific. Examples of their
programs include peer support and free breast and cervical cancer
workshops.
