San Francisco City Employee Vaccination Rate at Nearly 98%

In July 2021, when San Francisco established a November 1 deadline for all employees to be vaccinated, the rate of employee vaccination was 66%. In the months since the mandate was first announced, City representatives have partnered with labor leaders on outreach and education efforts in order to vaccinate as many employees as possible.

Fewer than 1,000 of the City’s 35,000 employees remain unvaccinated as November 1 deadline approaches

Mayor London N. Breed announced on October 29 that the City employee vaccination rate is nearly 98% with fewer than 1,000 of the City’s nearly 35,000 employees remaining unvaccinated.

“I want to thank and recognize all the workers who have stepped up to get vaccinated and protect public health,” said Breed. “This mandate is all about protecting the health of the public and of our workforce, and it is working. We will continue to work with our labor partners to get the last remaining people vaccinated, but we are confident a fully vaccinated workforce is in the best interest of the public, our workers, and the recovery of our City.”

Employees who are out of compliance with City policy include approximately 200 SFMTA staff, including 100 transit operators, 80 Police Department staff, including 60 police officers, 15 total Fire Department staff, and 20 Deputy Sheriffs. 196 exempt (non-civil service) employees will be separated from City service on Monday if they remain unvaccinated. The remaining 750 employees who remain out of compliance after the deadline will be placed on paid administrative leave until their due process hearing takes place. Following due process deliberations, subsequent hearings to determine whether unvaccinated employees will be separated from city employment will take place.

“The hardworking employees of San Francisco have worked tirelessly to keep the business of San Francisco going during the pandemic. Health care professionals, transportation workers, laborers, law enforcement, janitors and thousands of others have kept us safe and healthy,” said Carol Isen, Human Resources Director. “I am happy to see that over 97% of our workforce including these individuals are keeping their promise to the families and communities of San Francisco by getting vaccinated.”

In August 2021, the City announced that all new hires for the City and County of San Francisco must be vaccinated. The Mayor also issued two Mayoral Executive Orders that waive certain civil service provisions for expedited hiring, which will allow the City to more quickly fill the gaps for any workers who choose not to get vaccinated.

The City will continue to do everything it can to support all employees in understanding the benefits of vaccination and to protect the health and safety of our workforce and the public.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
