CBS New York December 2, 2021 City correction officers on Rikers Island now have to work 12-hour shifts, as the department's vaccine mandate is in effect. As CBS2's Aundrea Cline-Thomas reported Wednesday, it's a move to address the severe staff shortages, after months of chaos. It was back to work on Rikers Island, but this time only for staff who have had at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.
