State COVID-19 vaccine mandate in effect Monday

State workers, most health and long-term care providers and education employees will have to submit proof that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 on Monday or risk losing their job.

The state did allow some employees to work with their human resources office if they needed a “reasonable accommodation for medical or religious reasons” for an exemption.

The state also allowed for a few exceptions, reaching agreements with some union workers, which allowed them to use leave to get caught up if they were denied an exemption.

One thing to remember: All of the job cuts might not happen right away. For example, Seattle Public Schools is facing a bus driver shortage due to the mandate.
