REQUEST FOR A MEDICAL EXCEPTION TO THE COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENT
Government-wide policy requires all Federal employees, as defined in 5 U.S.C. § 2105, to be vaccinated
against COVID-19, with exceptions only as required by law. Employees may seek a legal exception to the
vaccination requirement due to a disability, using the form below. The agency may also ask for other
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. An employee 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. Employees 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 consequences, including termination or removal from Federal Service.
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.
