Hello Team,
We recently received word from the client that (company) will soon need to attest to the COIVD-19 vaccination status of our employees on the contract.
The client requests that all employees on this contract be fully vaccinated by November 22, 2021.
At this time, I just wanted to notify you that we received this communication. I will be reaching out to our employees in the following weeks as more information is provided to us.
I know some of you may have some questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than happy to discuss your questions and concerns.
If you are not yet vaccinated, below is a timeline that (client) provided to meet their vaccination deadline according to the type of vaccine.
• The Pfizer-BioNTech/COMIRNATY COVID-19 vaccine is approved by the FDA and is the only mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals should get their second shot 3 weeks (or 21 days) after the first. This means that in order for Federal employees to meet a November 22 deadline, they should receive their first vaccination no later than October 18, and their second dose no later than November 8.
• The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, is authorized for voluntary use. Individuals should get their second shot 4 weeks (or 28 days) after their first. This means that in order for Federal employees to meet a November 22 deadline, they should receive their first vaccination dose no later than October 11, and their second dose no later than November 8.
• The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine is also authorized for voluntary use. Because J&J only has one shot, Federal employees must get that dose by November 8, in order to meet a November 22 deadline to be fully vaccinated.
• If using vaccines on the World Health Organization (WHO) Emergency Use Listing (EUL) or approved for use in a clinical trial, ensure adequate time is allotted for the respective dosing protocols to meet the 22 November suspense.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has found the available COVID vaccinations are safe and extremely effective in precluding most infections and in minimizing the severity of the few breakthrough infections.
The employer needs to be notified that the Comirnaty jab, that is the only one approved by the FDA , is not even available in the US and there is no timetable for when it will be. Although the FDA has stated that the BioNTech jab is interchangeable with Comirnaty, they are treated as two separate entities and are not legally the same jab. The BioNTech jab is still under EUA and is classified as experimental. There are NO FDA approved vaxxines available in the US - PERIOD!
Therefore, all the current vaxxines available in the US are still under EUA only and cannot be mandated. In addition, the liability waiver for those jabs is still in effect and no data is available as to the complete list of ingredients they contain and must still be classified as part of a clinical trial. Complete informed consent is impossible.
Q&A for Comirnaty - FDA
This will be a great response if they try to dance around any of my questions. Thanks for the info!
Print the FDA sheet off and highlight the section I quoted. They are "legally" distinct. It also states the same thing on the actual FDA approval paperwork. They have tried to pull a fast one. In addition, there is no EO that mandates employers with more than 100 employees to mandate the jab. Look it up. They only talked about an EO, but they did not actually write one. Also, the EO requiring Federal workers to be jabbed is also bogus. The language states:
Legally they cannot mandate an experimental medical procedure. It is against Federal informed consent laws. They have pulled the wool over everyone's eyes and they are getting away with it.
45 CFR § 46.116 - General requirements for informed consent.
FDA - informed consent
I copied the link and pasted it in my notes but you’re right, it’s probably best to print it off so I have it and it doesn’t magically disappear.
Also putting the info about the EO in my questions. Thanks again for the info, Fren!
I added another thought to the reply. I will add the link to the Federal register.
