In December 2021, Mayor Eric Adams required all private businesses and employers to ban unvaccinated employees from coming into the workplace for in-person work. 

The ban gave an exemption to professional athletes and entertainers. 

Private businesses in the city will be allowed to maintain their own vaccine requirements. Vaccines are still required for most city employees, who are being fired by the hundreds for refusing the shot, according to the report.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
