COVID-19 Vaccine Attestation

In an effort to maintain a safe and healthy working environment some of MING Entertainment Group’s clients are requiring all hired crew to be fully vaccinated prior to working onsite.  Please let us know if you have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19.  

***NOTE*** CDC guidelines state that you are considered fully vaccinated:

2 weeks after the second dose in a 2-dose series, such as Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

OR

2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.

Brunette, athletically built, but a bit taller than Lilly. While she’s very similar to Lilly in that she benefits from the trappings of ritzy lifestyle, she has a darker side. She knows that her lifestyle is very fragile, and that if anyone ever finds out her husband works for the mafia, her life would come crashing down like a house of cards. She keeps a clean house, but not as clean as Lilly’s, as little bits of cluster show cracks in her almost perfect façade. When she feels threatened, she takes action, rather than sit back and wait for things to play out.
