COVID-19 Vaccination deadline extended for Federal Contractors
The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force has released updated guidance on COVID-19 vaccination requirements. A previous order indicated a December 8, 2021 deadline for covered federal government contractor and subcontractor employees to be fully vaccinated. Now, the updated guidance has extended the deadline to January 18, 2022.
But, it is important to note that this is the deadline to be FULLY vaccinated. People are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after the last required dose of their vaccine. This means that the deadline to get the final dose of the vaccine is January 4, 2022. This accounts for the required 2 week wait period in order to be considered fully vaccinated in time for the extended January 18 deadline.
The Task Force’s updated guidance also issued updated downloadable signage that can be used by covered contractors to post at workplace entrances to ensure safety protocols are followed. Links to the sample signage are posted below:
