Bars, restaurants in Jefferson and Clallam counties to require proof of COVID vaccination
All patrons entering an indoor restaurant or bar in Jefferson and Clallam counties must provide proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 starting Saturday, Sept. 4, according to a public health order issued Thursday.
Indoor bars and restaurants are known to pose a high risk for COVID-19 transmission, as they encourage unmasking of large groups of people indoors, Dr. Allison Berry, the health office for both counties, said in a news release. Our goal is to make these safer places to be and to reduce transmission in our communities, allowing our hospitals to keep functioning and our schools to open more safely this fall.
Acceptable forms of proof include a completed CDC-issued vaccination card, a state Department of Health certificate verifying vaccination against the virus, or a printed copy of a state Department of Health vaccine record. A photograph of any of those documents as well as an app-based vaccine passport are also acceptable.
According to the order, a person is fully vaccinated when they have received all the required doses of a COVID vaccine and 14 days have passed since the final dose. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines require two doses, while the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one.
