Contractors for state agencies mandated for vaccinations

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee included on-site contractors for state agencies to be mandated for COVID vaccinations on Sept. 27.

Inslee amended Proclamation 21-14.1 to added contractors with the Office of the Attorney General, the Office of the Commissioner of Public Lands and the Department of Natural Resources, the Office of Insurance Commissioner, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

“Because these agencies have already required their employees be fully vaccinated, only their on-site contractors are added to the requirements of this proclamation,” stated a spokesperson. “The decision to add these contractors was made in collaboration with these state agencies.”

On-site contractors must be fully vaccinated no later than Nov. 30.
