BRIEFS FILE PHOTO BY JAYSON MELLOM Political Watch • On May 20, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new online tool to help employers get their workers vaccinated. The Employer Vaccination Toolkit makes it easier for employers 4 to request a workplace clinic and increases vaccine accessibility. “Anyone who wants to should be able to get vaccinated,” Newsom said in a statement announcing the toolkit. “Getting more people vaccinated will bring us closer to ending this pandemic. That’s why we’re working with employers to make it easier to access COVID-19 vaccines—so no one misses their shot at protecting themselves and [their] communities.” The toolkit includes “vaccine education materials, information on COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave and other guidance for employees, and an online form to request vaccination support,” the statement added. California Department of Public Health Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Tomás J. Aragón said these resources mirror those the state has used in the past with employee flu shot programs. “Now, we’re repeating those same best practices to make it easier for people to access COVID-19 vaccines, including by promoting programs like supplemental paid sick leave so workers can [take] time off if they need it,” Aragón said in the statement.

At left, workers scramble to keep up with orders. There are never any guarantees, but 18 California residents who get their hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls will be the really lucky ones because many Silver JFK’s have nearly doubled in collector value in the last several years. Coin values always fluctuate but there can never be any more of these Silver JFKs minted between 1965 and 1970 and there’s no telling what they will someday be worth.
