This week marks the deadline for many Washington workers subject to the state’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate to complete their vaccinations, if they haven’t already, or risk losing their jobs later this month.
Governor Jay Inslee’s mandate requires workers to be fully vaccinated by October 18th, making Monday the last day to finish a two-dose series, or get the one dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and be in compliance.
Roughly 400,000 workers in the healthcare sector are subject to the vaccine mandate, according to estimates from the Governor’s office.
