San Francisco to require boosters for certain workers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco will now require law enforcement in certain settings and other people in higher-risk workplaces to receive a coronavirus booster by Feb. 1, the city announced Wednesday, as the omicron variant wreaks havoc across the country.
The move comes more than a week after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state will require California's roughly 2.5 million health care workers to get their booster shots by Feb. 1 or risk losing their jobs.
San Francisco's requirements — which also encompass health care workers — list professions that are not among the state's order. Changes to the health order affect both the city and county of San Francisco.
The health order now includes booster requirements for people who work in higher-risk settings, including adult care facilities, adult day programs, dental offices, home health care workers and pharmacists, as well as workers who visit such settings, like police officers, paramedics, emergency medical technicians and lawyers whose clients are in jails.
