In Tuesday's vax comms meeting, Michelle Jelacic let me know that our eligibility criteria for boosters was not complete. We need to add "social inequity" and the definition of high-risk jobs. She emailed me CDPH's version of this:

WHO People previously vaccinated with Pfizer BioNTech who SHOULD receive a booster include:

People who MAY CONSIDER receiving a booster based on their individual benefits and risks include:

  • Age 18 through 49 years with underlying medical conditions; and
  • Age 18 through 64 who are at increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 due to their occupation or institutional setting.

The CDC currently defines occupations at increased risk for COVID-19 as:

  • First responders (healthcare workers, firefighters, police, congregate care staff)
  • Education staff (teachers, support staff, daycare workers)
  • Food and agriculture workers
  • Manufacturing workers
  • Corrections workers
  • U.S. Postal Service workers
  • Public transit workers
  • Grocery store workers

I've drafted a simpler, more readable version of this for our Booster shots and additional doses section: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1upSAaN-n4idaetIjIAMrHO6g6TL_Zkt7ulRHzP4n-EE/edit#
