The COVID vaccine requirement for state workers comes to a close on Thursday.
Gov. Jay Inslee.OLYMPIA — As COVID-19 restrictions and regulations wind down across the globe, Gov. Jay Inslee will be ending the vaccination requirement for state employees.
The mandate was first put into place in August of 2021, before Inslee issued a directive making it a permanent condition for employment with the state a year later. That directive will no longer be in effect starting Thursday, May 11. “For more than three years, we have all faced incredible challenges as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted every aspect of our lives,” Inslee said in a news release. “Throughout this public health crisis, our state employee family demonstrated inspiring resilience and dedication, and I thank our employees for their exemplary service under unprecedented circumstances.”
“We have risen to the occasion during a defining moment in our history, and the measures we took helped us to achieve one of the lowest death rates in the nation,” he added. This comes after the World Health Organization ended the global health emergency for COVID-19 last Friday, while Washington’s own state emergency ended last October. It also coincides with the Biden Administration ending the country’s national health emergency on May 11, in addition toIn the days ahead, Inslee plans to provide a $1,000 payment for eligible state employees who can provide proof that they are up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccinations.
