This policy complies with all applicable laws and is based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tribal, state, and local health authorities.
(B) Definitions
Fully Vaccinated – Under this Policy, the term “fully vaccinated” means having received, at least 14 days prior, either the 2nd dose in a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series or single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. As guidelines are updated from the CDC, this definition may change such as requiring boosters for fully vaccinated individuals.
CWCR Property – all property under the control of CWCR, which includes:

(3) Contractors, vendors, and their employees working in or around CWCR.
(D) Vaccinations
(1) Vaccines must be Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved; have an emergency use authorization from the FDA; or, for persons fully vaccinated outside the United States, the vaccine must be listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO).

It can be a digital copy of the COVID 19 Vaccination Record provided that the individual’s name can be seen in the copy.
ii. CWCR will work with the Siletz Community Health Clinic to verify any questionable evidence of vaccination through the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), or other agencies/organizations as needed.
