Transition from the Blueprint
The California Department of Public Health's (CDPH) strategy is to use various levers and incentives to increase protection of Californians and incentivize vaccination to move us towards community immunity. Since March CDPH has adjusted the Blueprint to recognize the role of vaccines in reducing the transmission. These strategies include:
- Get vaccinated and boosted
- Reopening and expanding the capacity of outdoor sectors
- Adding the Vaccine Equity Benchmarks to adjust the case rate thresholds for Blueprint tiers
- Allowing increased capacity or numbers of persons allowed, including indoors, with proof of testing or vaccination
- Developing guidance or minimum standards to ensure equity, privacy, and ethical practices are integral in the deployment of vaccination and testing verification methods
- Focusing on equity allocations and implementations plans to improve vaccination coverage in our least advantaged and hardest-hit communities
The efforts Californians have taken to date have allowed us to fully reopen safely so we can move beyond the Blueprint.
