MRSC - Face Masks in the Local Government Workplace
Local agencies can verify vaccination status for employees and visitors by asking to see a copy of a vaccination record, having a person sign a form saying they are vaccinated, or allowing a person to just tell them they’ve been vaccinated and 'checking a box.' For employees, make sure your process complies with the requirements on pages 13-14 of DOSH Directive 1.70. However, be aware of medical privacy laws; only ask for the minimum information you need (vaccinated or not — or have an exemption) to decide whether to provide services in person or by some other method. Don’t keep a copy of a medical record if you don’t have a good business reason to do so — just have staff ask to see the document and document that you’ve seen it.
