COVID-19 Vaccine

In the RAQ you provided an answer about vaccine requirements for new hires. What about performers or presenters we hire to come into the library, especially to work with children?

Can we require new hires at the library to be vaccinated, and if so, how should we word this on the job application, and how are we allowed to ask for proof of vaccination?

Now that Open Meetings Law modifications have been lifted, are we still required to maintain physical distancing for board meetings?

We are preparing to go to the "masks recommended" phase.  Staff would still be required to wear masks in public portions of the building, but not in their non-shared offices. 

We are a large (100-employee) school district public library. We are currently encouraging and educating employees on getting vaccinated, but not (yet) *requiring* vaccinations.

Are public or private libraries obligated to give paid time off for eligible employees to get the vaccine during work time?

The governor announced that the vaccine rollout to public employees would be through our unions and health groups, but also said that WE need to prioritize who receives the vaccine f

Can a public library compel staff members to get vaccinations for COVID-19, when they are available? If so, can an employee request an exemption?
