The City of Berkeley's Health Officer strongly recommends that employers use all tools they have available to increase workplace COVID-19 vaccinations - actions the City plans to model by mandating vaccination for its more than 1,500 employees.
Even as cases rise due to the highly-contagious Delta variant, the three rigorously-tested and FDA-authorized vaccines make people far less likely to get infected and also offer much greater protection against sickness, hospitalization, and death.
"Vaccines are already keeping workers, patrons and visitors safer and lowering the risk of outbreaks," said Dr. Lisa Hernandez, the City of Berkeley Health Officer.

Use community.zonehaven.com to learn your household's evacuation zone - a label that responders will use during wildfires and other emergencies to rapidly identify specific areas under threat.
You'll see that zone label on evacuation warnings orders sent via AC Alert, the countywide emergency messaging system, should your zone be affected. In Berkeley, all the zone labels start with "BER-" -- such as BER-E044.
Signing up for AC Alert and knowing your evacuation zone allows you to quickly act during an imminent threat. Every second matters in crisis. Post your evacuation zone number on your fridge so everyone in your household can memorize it.
Learn more about how to prepare and respond at cityofberkeley.info.
