First responders nationally are quitting their jobs over coronavirus vaccine mandates.

About 1,900 state workers in Washington reportedly either resigned or were fired by Tuesday, according to the state’s Office of Financial Management. That’s about 3% of the state’s workers. In New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio said municipal workers must have at least one shot of the vaccination by Oct. 29 or go on unpaid leave. San Francisco first responders had until Oct. 13 to get vaccinated.
