Message from SC Dept. of Health and Environmental Control

January 18, 2021 By Greater Inman Chamber of Commerce

To All South Carolina Businesses and Government Entities:

DHEC Survey

Thank you for your efforts to minimize transmission of COVID-19 as well as your enthusiastic interest in the vaccine. We are currently still in Phase 1a but are asking for your assistance to ensure a smooth transition to 1b. Vaccine supply is still less than demand. Our state Vaccination Advisory Committee (VAC) continues to meet frequently to work through the specific details that define each phase of the rollout. Please check all source links often as these pages are frequently updated.

Phase 1b includes: Workers in health care settings not vaccinated in 1a, persons living and working in shared or overcrowded settings increasing risk of COVID-19 infection, and frontline essential workers. See the DHEC web site for additional guidance:

 Phase 1c includes: Age 65 and older, Ages 16-64 with chronic conditions that increase the risk for severe COVID-19, and essential workers not vaccinated in 1b.

We are asking you to complete this short survey. Remember that the fact that you have essential workers does not mean that all workers are classified as essential frontline workers who may have an increased risk of exposure. This information will be very useful as decisions about the allocation of the limited supply of vaccine to providers in your area(s) are made. Keep this in mind as you complete the survey.  We request your understanding of the limited vaccine supply, the goal to protect those at highest risk for exposure to COVID and/or risk of complications first, and your assistance as we move forward. As we make decisions about the allocation of the limited supply of vaccine to providers, we are asking for your assistance to get an estimated headcount of people who are eligible (in this case frontline essential workers) who are also planning to take the vaccine.

Important Definitions: 

Frontline Essential Workers: Please note that this goes beyond the Homeland Security definition of essential workers. Frontline Essential Workers are defined as those in business sectors essential to the functioning of society and who are at substantially higher risk of exposure to COVID-19, that is, their occupational risk is above the risk of the general population.

Criteria for High Exposure Risk

  • Those who have frequent or sustained contact with coworkers, including under close working conditions indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces in various types of industrial, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and other critical infrastructure workplaces.
  • Those who have frequent indoor or poorly ventilated contact with the general public, including workers in retail stores, grocery stores or supermarkets, pharmacies, transit and transportation operations, law enforcement and emergency response operations, restaurants, and bars.

 

 Important Links: 

  1. Map of vaccine providers across the state 
  2. Instructions on how to become a vaccine provider 

Your assistance is vital in assisting us with the number of vaccines needed by the rollout phase, identifying additional vaccine providers in your area as well as your encouragement for those employees who are eligible due to frontline essential worker designation OR age or underlying health-related qualifications to get vaccinated.

Thank you.

Letter from the GIACC President

January 7, 2021 By Greater Inman Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to 2021! The Greater Inman Area Chamber of Commerce renews its commitment to improving the local business climate and quality of life with the ultimate goal of helping Area 29349 become one of the best places to LIVE, WORK, and PLAY in Upstate South Carolina. The Chamber will continue to promote economic growth and development and is proud to sponsor programs and events throughout the year to help local businesses and the community.

Inman is open for business, and we are confident that 2021 will be an uplifting and bustling year for Area 29349 despite this Pandemic. Your Chamber is actively working and will continue to hold regular monthly meetings. However, the GIACC Annual Banquet regularly held in February is postponed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This event will be rescheduled as soon as large gatherings are permitted and safe.

The Chamber 2021 Goals, already set in motion, will be released shortly via video. The Chamber Board adjusted the Membership Dues during our January meeting to accommodate these new goals that will provide additional benefits and support for our members and their businesses.

We will continue to keep our members informed about events, meetings, and opportunities through our monthly newsletter, social media, and the website (https://inmanscchamber.org/). If you have not visited our website or logged into the Members Only, you are missing out. Click it!

If you have questions or comments, please email or call us at 864-472-3654.
