Ousted Miami police chief is pleading with officers to get vaccinated
CNN
As Covid-19 vaccine mandates stir controversy in police departments across the country, the recently ousted Miami police chief has pleaded with officers to get vaccinated.
"We are losing our police officers to Covid, to a virus that is preventable," former police chief Art Acevedo told CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday. "I just wish people would pay attention to the data."
Covid-19 has become the leading cause of death among officers, despite law enforcement being among the first groups eligible to receive the vaccine at the end of 2020. And although many areas across the country are mandating vaccines for their officers, police and their unions have often resisted.
