The bill was proposed by Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal of New York's 67th District and has been referred to a committee for further examination
Rosenthal's mandate would make the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for all eligible residents if initial doses fail to establish sufficient immunity
The bill adds that anyone who is exempted by a licensed medical professional will not be required to receive the vaccine
Rosenthal called the bill a 'protective health measure' and said not everyone would have to get the vaccine, so long as a certain number of people do
New York Assemblyman David DiPietro called her proposal 'very dangerous'
