COVID-19
Our guidance for COVID-19 follows Washington Department of Health, Lewis County Health and Social Services and CDC recommendations. Common respiratory illnesses, such as Covid-19, flu, respiratory syncytial (RSV) and other respiratory illnesses will now follow these guidelines. Staff and students can return to work/activities once they have met BOTH of the following over a 24-hour period:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, AND
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)
When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
- Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.
- If you develop a fever or you start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precaution for the next 5 days.

Vaccination Information for Staff
- CLICK THIS LINK for a printable Staff Immunization History Form
In order to safeguard our school community from the spread of vaccine preventable diseases, it is strongly recommended that all staff review their immunization status. If necessary, please bring it up to date. These are the current guidelines for adults.
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR): Staff born prior to 1957, are considered to be immunized. Staff born after 1957 need 1 dose of MMR vaccine or laboratory evidence of immunity (titer). Per our local public health officer, a confirmed case of measles in one of our schools means: All staff who were born after 1957 and do not have proof of receiving 1 dose of MMR vaccine on or after their first birthday or laboratory evidence of immunity would be excluded for a minimum of 21 days or the duration of the outbreak. The local health department would be in charge of exclusions.
- Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis: All adults need a series of 3 doses, usually given in childhood. A Tetanus/Diphtheria booster is given every 10 years. All adults should have 1 dose of Tdap, regardless of when the last Tetanus booster was given. This is the vaccine that protects you from whooping cough (Pertussis).
- Hepatitis B: This vaccine is provided for employees who are regularly exposed to blood and bodily fluids. It is a 3 dose vaccine series.
- Influenza vaccines are recommended annually.
- Pneumonia vaccines are recommended for adults over the age of 65 and those under the age of 65 with chronic health conditions. It is either a 1 or 2 dose vaccine series given 5 years apart depending on age at time of first pneumonia vaccine.
- Shingles vaccine is recommended for adults over the age of 60.
- Chickenpox vaccine is a 2 dose vaccine series. Individuals born before 1980 are considered immune.
Blood titers are available at your primary care provider’s office to confirm immunity; check with your insurance provider to see if they cover the cost. Vaccines are available from your healthcare provider or ANY pharmacy (even if you are not a patient). If you are unsure if you are adequately immunized, consult with your primary care provider.
Please obtain a copy of your vaccinations or proof of immunity. Proof of immunity may be documentation from your healthcare provider, a print out from the state immunization registry, or a copy of the vaccines you received. Nurse Health Services has the ability to look up your vaccination records in the state registry with your written permission, including name and date of birth. Information will be kept confidential. Proof of immunity or permission to look up your vaccination records may be turned into the nurse’s office at any building.
