California 1st State To Mandate Indoor Healthcare Workers Must Be Vaccinated

Jo C.

Surpised me; Ca mandates by September 30th that all indoor healthcare workers whether paid or undpaid must be vaccinated.  I was a bit surprised to see that Home Health entities are not included in this mandate; or at least not spelled out as such:

If a person enacts a healthcare reason why they cannot be vaccinated, they do not have to divulge their diagnosis, but must have a doctor's letter stating they are medically not able to have the vaccine and how long that is expected to last.

Those who declare health or religious reasons for not being vaccinated will need to be tested for COVID twice a week.
