'Fox News @ Night' panel discusses Biden administration's messaging surrounding masks and COVID-19 vaccines.
The teachers union that represents more than 60,000 current and retired educators across New York reiterated its opposition Monday to COVID-19 vaccine mandates after Gov.
The New York State United Teachers released a statement following Cuomo's COVID-19 briefing in which he said teachers in the state should be required to get the vaccine or submit to weekly testing if they are in an area defined as high-risk by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The union said it has advocated easy access to vaccines for teachers but stopped short of endorsing a mandatory vaccine requirement.
Last week, Cuomo announced that state employees will be required to get vaccinated by Labor Day or get weekly COVID-19 tests
The mandate comes amid a spike in COVID-19 cases in New York and other states
