– NOTE: As long as you are at least fully vaccinated (not including booster shots) and have not been asked to send in proof of vaccination yet for this show, you are eligible to be considered for this role at this time. If you are available, we will later ask you to submit your vaccine information to the production Health & Safety team. (DO NOT SEND TO THE 4 STAR TEAM)
TO BE CONSIDERED: YOU MUST SUBMIT A CURRENT PHOTO, ANSWER ALL THE BELOW QUESTIONS, AND BE AVAILABLE FOR THE LISTED DATES ABOVE.
COVID-19 NOTICE: Production will comply with applicable health and safety laws and regulations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Background Actors will be required to comply with Production’s then-applicable COVID-19 protocols, including any advance testing and negative test result requirements. Employment will be contingent upon receiving a negative pre-employment test result. Current protocols require testing approximately two days prior to the start of services. In addition, Production is requiring all background actors who work in Zone A to be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment, subject to applicable laws and guild requirements, including reasonable accommodations as required by law. All protocols, including timing and frequency of any required testing, are subject to change.
To continue to be eligible to work in ZONE A, the production requires that you verify that you are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccination.
**NOTE THAT THIS DEFINITION HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE UPDATED, BIVALENT BOOSTER approved and recommended by CDC on 9/1/22. Per the CDC: “Updated COVID-19 boosters add Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components to the current vaccine composition, helping to restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination by targeting variants that are more transmissible and immune-evading.” The full CDC guidelines for vaccination and booster recommendations for adults and minors can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/…/201…/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html Please note that the CDC has different recommendations for those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised; see: https://www.cdc.gov/…/vaccines/recommendations/immuno.html
“Up-to-date” means the following:
FOR ADULTS 18+
– You have received full primary dose(s) of the Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine
AND
– You have received the updated, bivalent booster that was approved for use on 9/1/22 at least 2 months after your last dose of vaccine or booster
FOR MINORS
Pfizer/BioNTech Primary Vaccine
– Ages 6 mos – 4 years: 3 primary doses
– 5 – 11 years: 2 primary doses and a booster at least 5 months after last dose
– 12 – 17 years: 2 primary doses AND an updated, bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech booster at least 2 months after second dose
Moderna Primary Vaccine
– Ages 6 mos – 11 years: 2 primary doses
– 12 – 17 years: 2 primary doses AND an updated, bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech booster at least 2 months after second dose
Novavax Primary Vaccine
– 12 – 17 years: 2 primary doses and an updated, bivalent Pfizer/BioNTech booster at least 2 months after second dose
This production’s HEALTH & SAFETY TEAM will notify you of your requirements after you have submitted your vaccination information. You will then have 21 days after that notification date to complete the above requirements to remain eligible to work for the production. If it has been less than 2 months since your last dose, you will be eligible to work until 21 days after you become eligible for the updated booster. If you receive the booster during those 21 days, you’ll be cleared to work thereafter. Examples for this “Grace Period”: Let’s say you are Vaccinated with no booster OR the 1 booster and Health and Safety NOTIFIES you on 9/1/22 that you need the new shot. That means you are ELIGIBLE for the NEW Booster shot and have 21 days from that date, which you would have to get the new shot by 9/22/22 to continue to work on this show. Let’s say you are Vaccinated, and you got a booster shot on 8/21/22. You are NOT eligible for the NEW Booster shot for 2 months, or on 10/21/22. You can still work until then, but you will have to get the booster shot on this date to be eligible to continue work on the show.
The production company, NOT 4 Star Casting Inc. dba 4 Star Casting, requires that anyone who works on their shows, ages 12 and above, be “UP-TO-DATE” against Covid-19. Accordingly, if you would like to be considered for BG work on “DURANGO 60623,” you must click the email above to re-upload your proof of vaccination if the booster applies or when it applies. You may choose not to do this but without proof of “UP-TO-DATE” status, you cannot be considered for BG work on “DURANGO 60623.” This is a production company policy over which 4 Star Casting Inc dba 4 Star Casting has no control.
