Protecting the City from Delta: New Vaccine Policies
Posted by City of Philadelphia on August 17, 2021
Protecting the City from Delta: all City workers will be required to be fully vaccinated or double-masked if not fully vaccinated.
Being vaccinated against COVID-19 results in an eight-fold reduction of risk if you’re fully vaccinated compared to when you are not. If you’re fully vaccinated, you have a 25-fold reduction of your risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID. The COVID vaccines protect people very well and are the best way to avoid a severe enough infection that could end up in hospitalization.
Simply put: the COVID vaccines work extremely well and are saving lives every day.
The City has a vested interest in ensuring that all staff are protected as thoroughly as possible from severe COVID infection and death. That’s why as of September 1, the City will be instituting the following new policies.
