This week on Flashpoint, two city council members debate how to handle vaccine hold-outs among city staffers. According to new numbers released by the City of Charlotte, the Charlotte Fire Department has a vaccination rate under 60%. 68% of CATS workers are vaccinated. And 67% of CMPD staff are vaccinated.
All three departments have shown substantial increases in vaccination rates since September 1, but the numbers still rank low in comparison to other city departments.
On Thursday, the City of Charlotte announced it will require the COVID-19 vaccine for new workers after officials said 70% of the city's workforce was vaccinated, falling just short of their goal of 75%.
