With the recent outbreak and spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Kaiser Permanente is committed to protecting the health of our patients, health care workers, and business partners. Should the CDC definition for fully vaccinated change to include booster shots or annual booster vaccinations, Kaiser Permanente employees will be required to comply with any revised definition. In addition, if county departments of public health implement stricter requirements than KP policy, KP facilities in these counties must comply with the stricter requirements.Ĭurrently, the CDC defines “fully vaccinated” as having received the second dose in a 2-dose primary series (e.g., Pfizer, Novavax, and Moderna vaccines) OR receipt of a single-dose vaccine (e.g., Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine) AND a 2-week period having passed since the administration of the last vaccine dose.

However, Los Angeles County, San Francisco County, and the cities of Pasadena and Long Beach Departments of Health still require a COVID-19 booster vaccination for Health Care Workers (HCW). All vendors and suppliers will be held accountable for their employees and subcontractors complying with this new requirement.Įffective April 3, the California Department of Public Health no longer requires health care workers to receive a COVID-19 booster vaccination.
