Abstract: This information is being requested to promote the federal workforce, the safety of federal buildings, and others on site at agency facilities or those interacting with the public consistent with the COVID-19 Workplace Safety: Agency Model Safety Principles established by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force and guidance from the CDC. To request a medical exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement, an employee must complete Section I of the medical exemption form, and their medical provider must complete Sections II and III.

Emergency Justfication: This information is essential to implement agencies’ health and safety measures included within recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Safer Federal Workforce Task Force Guidance. The Department of Labor (DOL) has an urgent need to collect information for individuals applying for medical exemption to the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccinations and this medical exemption form is necessary for DOL to determine legal exemptions to the vaccine requirement under the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act. Applying regular Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance procedures is likely to cause harm because of the threat of COVID-19 exposure and transmission.
