New York City public school teachers and staff will be required to be vaccinated, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday. The mandate from the city's public health department came the same day the Food and Drug Administration granted full approval for the Pfizer vaccine.
In July, de Blasio made it mandatory for all city workers to get the vaccine or receive regular COVID-19 testing. But now, for public school staff, testing won't be an acceptable alternative to the vaccine, CBS New York reports. All New York City public school staff members, including teachers, principals, food workers and custodians, will need to have at least one dose by September 27, de Blasio said.A cybercriminal group claims it stole personal data belonging to more than 500 million Ticketmaster customers. Although the event ticketing service, owned by Live Nation Entertainment, hasn't confirmed the attack, security experts warn that it could put users of the platform at risk for a range of scams.
Two climbers were waiting to be rescued near the peak of Denali, a colossal mountain that towers over miles of vast tundra in southern Alaska, officials said Wednesday. Originally part of a three-person team that became stranded near the top of the mountain, the climbers put out a distress call more than 30 hours earlier suggesting they were hypothermic and unable to descend on their own, according to the National Park Service.
