RE: Where do most county employees fall in regards to vaccine?


Good morning ,  What do you think about emailing to all current employees on your 65 and over list the forms I sent you , and if they are interested have them email Emily Stafford to get them on the schedule, then they can fill out the form and bring with them. We will be using the senior center for 1st doses for the next 3 weeks on Thursday and Fridays. I think we have seen over half the retirees already because many of them fit in the last group, we counted yesterday and was well over 10 we could remember seeing. So may not need to send to them ??? on the email remind them it needs to be 90 days since they had covid if they have been sick. What do you think ?

It would take some time to contact them, but I don’t mind a bit to initiate the process.

 

Is it possible for the employee to call the HD for confirmation if they want the vaccine, and schedule?  I can provide the HD with a list of over 65 without identifying exact age/dob.   The reason why I ask is even though we wouldn’t retain a list of who wants the vaccine, the perception is there that HR would keep track and attach it to their employee record.  Think about it and let me know.  We can start pulling contact info here in the next couple of days.

That is more than I would have thought, OK, can you send out information to all of them and have them let you know if they want vaccinated??Here is the form to fill out and here is the Moderna , information sheet, once we have a list of who , I we will work to get them on the schedule

I have an update and you can let me know how you want to proceed.  We have 28 retirees (with insurance) age 65 and over.  We have 71 active employees age 65 and over.  Grand total of 99.

I think we could send them vaccination form to fill out ahead of time ,that way they can get in and out quick and the vaccine information paperwork. And I am sure not all of them will want to take the vaccine

Let me know how many when she gets a list and then do you think we could work on an informational email . Because if they have had covid they do not need the vaccine for 90 days after .

 Yes , County employees will fit in the next group with teachers and childcare providers. I sure hope vaccine supply increases soon or it will take months to get to the next category . But county employees over 65 can be vaccinated in the current group . I think we should send out info to those ? What do you think ?
