5a) Discussion and Possible Action Including an Update Associated with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19); and Provide Possible Direction Regarding Essential Services in Mendocino County, Operational Preparation and Response, and Associated Countywide Economic Impacts
(Sponsor: Executive Office)
Please change the language for eligibility requirements for essential workers' vaccination from "employee ID or pay stub" to include letter from employer. Essential workers qualify for vaccination eligibility, but this wording excludes them.
Please make certain that all vaccine administrators, vaccination clinic staff and volunteers accept letters from employers as proof of essential worker status.
Alternatively hold public health clinics for all those missed and excluded from Phase 1A before opening up to those age 65+ without underlying conditions (as it appears under the new guidelines).
An effective public health response is one that reaches the most at risk who are often the ones most hard to reach.
Thank you!
