DeB still jabbing away for cop inoc

Mayor de Blasio doubled down on Thursday on his failed attempt to get COVID-19 vaccines to NYPD members this week — even though most cops aren’t eligible under state guidelines.

Hizzoner presented a slide of the definition of State Certified State Responders side-by-side with duties of cops and correction officers.

“I don’t think it is at all gray. What do patrol officers do? Perform CPR at a moment’s notice. Of course, they have to use lifesaving equipment and deal with any kind of emergency,” de Blasio said. “What is gray?” The key difference, state officials say, is that only a few hundred cops are actually state-certified first responders, making them ineligible for the top priority group.

“Police are not ‘health-care workers’ for 1A purposes except those who are EMS or EMT,” a spokesman for the governor’s office said on Thursday. “As everyone knows, virtually every police officer is trained in CPR, but that does not make them a ‘health-care worker’ for the purpose of vaccine distribution.

“The rules of the COVID-vaccine distribution have been clear for many weeks and agreed to by virtually all credible federal and state leaders.”

De Blasio announced an ambitious plan on Wednesday to inoculate 10,000 NYPD officers by Sunday — and then thousands more cops and correction officers in coming weeks — by trying to label them as medical first responders.

But within hours, the governor’s office shot down the plan, publicly reminding the city that only officers who are certified EMS workers, such as EMTs or paramedics, are eligible for the vaccine under its current 1A category.

In the NYPD, fewer than 200 cops are state-certified EMS, police sources told The Post.

Officers across the state are part of Phase 1B, which includes firefighters who also aren’t trained EMS and New Yorkers above age 75, the governor’s office says.

New York City will move forward with vaccinating EMS-certified officers and medical staff, but did not provide a plan.
