Of the Chicago City Workers 95% are vaccinated if you don't count CPD CFD and a few others:

CHICAGO (CBS) — More than two days after a deadline to notify their bosses of their vaccination status, more than a third of the city’s police force and more than a quarter of the Fire Department have yet to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate, and newly released data shows only a little more than half of Chicago Police Department staff has told City Hall they’re fully vaccinated.

Friday night was the deadline for all city workers to officially report their vaccination status, or face the prospect of being placed on “no pay” status. The Lightfoot administration also has threatened to fire employees who repeatedly refuse to comply with the city’s vaccine policy.


Meantime, at the Chicago Fire Department, about 72% of their 4,907 staff have reported their vaccination status, and more than 60% of their staff have reported being fully vaccinated.


Mayor Lori Lightfoot said 13 of the city’s 35 departments are in 100% compliance with the requirement for employees to report their vaccination status, and 29 of 35 departments are in 95% compliance.

I am so Glad Mayor Lori Lightfoot is standing her ground on this.

Sounds like the person who reviews city permit applications is tougher than a Chicago Cop.

Got a feeling a good chunk of cops aren't close to tough, they just fake it, & they've got a gun.
Those same applications reviewers seem to smarter than a lot of cops, too.
