A reasonable grace period (as determined by the production CCO) will be allowed for hired cast members who reach an appropriate vaccination eligible age to receive their full vaccine and share proof of the completed series.

You must be able to show proof of vaccination status prior to your start date.  All vaccination records will be maintained confidentially and securely by production.
