U.S. PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTOR REQUEST
FOR A MEDICAL EXCEPTION TO THE COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENT
Government-wide policy requires all USAID Personal Services Contractors (PSC) to be vaccinated
against COVID-19, with exceptions only as required by law. Contractors may seek an exception to the
vaccination requirement due to a disability, using the form below. The agency may also ask for other
relevant information, as needed. Requests for “medical accommodation” or “medical exceptions” will be
treated as requests for a disability accommodation and evaluated and decided under applicable
Rehabilitation Act standards for reasonable accommodation absent undue hardship to the agency. A
contractor may also request a delay for complying with the vaccination requirement based on certain
medical considerations that may not justify an exception under the Rehabilitation Act. Safer Federal
Workforce Task Force guidance on medical considerations that may warrant a delay is available here. The
agency will be required to keep confidential any medical information provided, subject to the applicable
Rehabilitation Act standards. Contractors who receive an exception or a delay from the vaccination
requirement would instead comply with alternative health and safety protocols.
Signing this form constitutes a declaration that the information you provide is true and correct to the best
of your knowledge and ability. Any intentional misrepresentation to the Federal Government may result in
legal and administrative consequences, up to and including termination of your contract.
To request a medical exception or delay from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement using this form:
1. You must complete Part 1 of this form.
2. Your medical provider must complete Part 2 of this form.
3. When both are completed, you must submit the form to your agency’s designated point of contact.
