LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has launched a "Summer Vaccination Drive," which includes a line of T-shirts, to encourage adult performers, crews and other behind-the-scenes workers to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
A recent survey of PASS performers and crew revealed "nearly 80% of 563 respondents are fully vaccinated, with another 8% who are partially vaccinated or planning to get the vaccine," a rep explained. "The remaining 12% said they do not plan to get vaccinated."
"PASS updated its guidance regarding testing on June 4, following a meeting of the Cal/OSHA Standards Board," continued the rep. "Testing for vaccinated individuals is no longer necessary, though face coverings, temperature checks and health screenings are all still recommended. If employers establish different protocols for vaccinated workers, employers must document vaccine status — such as use of the PASS database. PASS participants can use this form to have their vaccination status verified and displayed in PASS."
The T-shirts read, "Vaxxed, Waxed and Ready for [Ass]" and can be found here.
“Vaccination is the easiest and quickest way for adult production to return to normal,” FSC CEO Michelle L. LeBlanc said. "It helps protect both you and your co-workers from serious infection, reduces transmission and decreases overall risk in our communities."
"We created the T-shirts to help people show off their vax status, and encourage others to do the same," she added.
