The Suffolk County PBA, as an organization, firmly believes the decision of whether or not to take a vaccine belongs to an individual under the guidance of their personal physician. We stand against forced vaccination of our membership and will vigorously oppose any attempt to enforce a mandate. It is undeniable the spread of Covid-19 and variants poses a significant health risk to everyone; however, an employer can not be permitted to coerce employees with threats of discipline or termination. Should the County, State, or Federal government attempt to mandate vaccination of our membership for continued employment, we will take every legal remedy available through both the courts and collective bargaining. - Noel DiGerolamo PBA President
