COVID‑19 Vaccination Policy In support of commitment to the health, safety, and wellness of all staff and to be compliant with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Omnibus COVID‑19 Health Care Staff Vaccination Rule it is the policy of the Department of Public Health that all newly hired employees are required to provide proof of COVID‑19 vaccination. Acceptable forms of proof include CDC COVID‑19 vaccination cards (or legible photo), documentation from a health care provider, electronic health record, or state immunization information system record. New employees must be fully vaccinated prior to starting service for the Department, and adherence to this policy is a condition of employment. Full vaccination means having received a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approved vaccine or vaccine series, consisting of two doses of either of the two‑dose vaccines or one dose of the single‑dose vaccine. For moderately or severely immunocompromised individuals, a primary series consists of a 3‑dose series of an mRNA COVID‑19 vaccine or a single dose of Janssen COVID‑19 Vaccine. Individuals are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the second dose in a two‑dose series, or two weeks after a single‑dose vaccine. At this time, full vaccination does not require a booster shot. The meaning of “fully vaccinated” is subject to change in accordance with the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. For applicants with a CMS clinical contraindication to the vaccine or sincerely held religious beliefs, which prohibit them from receiving a vaccine, you may contact the Department of Public Health Office of Human Resources (DPH HR) during the hiring phase to request an exemption or reasonable accommodation. Employees granted exemption for medical or religious reasons will be required to wear facial coverings to reduce the risk of transmission to at‑risk individuals in DPH facilities and submit to weekly COVID‑19 testing. All prospective employees must read and acknowledge the Policy during the application process.
