Please withdraw my request. And our COVID-19 service line meeting this morning, our organization elected to no longer offer a pregnancy exemption.
Thank you

 Paul

I am in WA State which now has a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all HCP to be fully vaccinated by 10/18/21
We are allowing an exemption during pregnancy and I want to make sure our pregnant employees understand the risks of  COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, vs the benefit of the vaccination.
Currently the education re COVID-19 vaccination risk vs benefit during pregnancy occurs with the employees’ PCP, nurse mid-wife or OB.
I have no way to know if the employee is receiving accurate and complete information.

As the Occ Health medical director, I am asked to review requests for COVID-19 vaccine exemptions for validity, however I am not in contact with the employees and I do not access their medical record to protect their privacy.

Given the severe risks of COVID-19 during pregnancy, I am requesting that our HR use an informed consent to standardize the information given to our pregnant employees (as well as other community members) by use of an informed consent signed by requester.

Does anyone have such an informed consent they are willing to share?


Thanks,
 Paul
