The hard-line measure — the first such step taken by a big U.S. city — goes into effect in mid-August. Vaccination cards or state and city apps will be accepted as proof of inoculation. Microsoft will demand that its roughly 100,000 U.S. employees — as well as visitors and others — show proof of vaccination starting in September. Florida has more people now in the hospital with COVID-19 than at any other time during the outbreak — over 11,500. Experts say the vaccine is still highly effective at preventing serious illness and death from the delta variant.
