The most notable portion of the Order is the requirement – in Section 9(c) – that all governmental entities and businesses ascertain the vaccination status of their personnel. This must be done within 14 days of the effective date of the Order, i.e., by June 2, 2021. Thereafter, updated information for all unvaccinated personnel must be obtained every 14 days. Records must be kept demonstrating compliance with this provision. Any person whose vaccination status cannot be determined (and this would include someone who refuses to disclose their status) must be treated as unvaccinated.
