Workplace COVID-19 Vaccination
•   Encourage on-site workplace vaccination
    clinics (see next slide for details)

•   Allow employees to get vaccinated on work
    time

•   Cal/OSHA does not require employers to
    provide vaccinations

•   But Cal/OSHA does require effective
    training for supervisors and workers on:
    •   How to access testing and vaccination
    •   The effectiveness of the vaccination to protect against COVID-19

                                                                           9
