Essential workers
Who is eligible? The state is still vaccinating essential workers who fall under phase 1B of its vaccination plan. This group includes food manufacturing workers, agricultural workers, grocery store employees, public transit employees, Postal Service workers, higher education staff and people in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
After working through the 1B-eligible groups, the state will move on to other essential workers. Around 160 employers have contacted the state to develop vaccination plans for their employees, Carney said.
How to sign up: Essential workers are being vaccinated through state partnerships at workplaces and state-run vaccination events. The state says employees should check with their employers for more information. Employers who have not contacted the Division of Public Health should email vaccineplanning@delaware.gov to begin developing vaccination plans for their employees.
