Tampa Florida Democrat Mayor Jane Castor to Mandate COVID-19 Vaccine for Employees

Wednesday morning, Mayor Jane Castor said the goal is for all 4,700 city employees to be fully vaccinated by September 30. Those who are not vaccinated will be required to wear N95 masks to work and tested for COVID-19 once a week.

"I clearly understand individuals' level of personal freedom," offered Castor, the former police chief. "I spent over three decades upholding our Constitution…ensuring those individuals have those rights, but if we did not mandate vaccines, we would still have polio and smallpox. This particular vaccine has proven to be safe."

At least three other local governments in Florida have already passed the same requirement for their employees including Leon, Orange and Delray Beach.
