Staff discuss measles vaccination records and annual N95 fit testing; no formal policy adopted

The Ambulance Director told the Emergency Services Board that he had not finalized a proposed vaccination policy and said he had discussed the topic with Campbell and Marvin. "I was hoping to have a policy ready for today, but I haven't got to talk to Campbell," the Ambulance Director said, adding a warning that "the measles thing is gonna come up." The director said he would ask whether vaccination records could be obtained for employees and said that unvaccinated staff could still work but would require extra precautions. "Find out if we can get a vaccination record. And if you're not vaccinated, you can work. I mean, we just need to take precautions," he said. The director said he was talking with the health department about fit testing for masks. A board member provided background on measles transmissibility and vaccination effectiveness, saying roughly 90% of people in the U.S. are vaccinated and that one MMR shot raises immunity to about 93% and two shots to roughly 97%. "So there's very little risk that you would get it [if vaccinated]," the board member said. The discussion was exploratory; no policy was adopted at the meeting. The Ambulance Director said he would continue coordinating with the health department and with named contacts (Campbell, Marvin, Sherry) on fit testing and vaccination-record procedures. There was no formal vote or directive recorded in the transcript to mandate employee vaccination or to require specific testing beyond continued coordination and planning. Ending: The board moved to other business after the discussion; staff reported they will follow up with health‑department partners about fit testing and vaccination‑record procedures.
