Update Your Vaccination Status By March 15
February 7, 2022
Beginning March 15, leave-eligible employees must be up to date with the FCPS and CDC guidance to receive paid administrative leave for COVID-related isolation or quarantine up to twice a year. Unvaccinated or employees not up to date with COVID-19 vaccines must take personal or sick leave. In addition, your vaccination status is a consideration in return to work reporting and procedures if you test positive for COVID-19 or are exposed.
When you get your next COVID-19 vaccination or booster, your next step should be updating your vaccination status on the Employee COVID-19 Vaccination Status Form. Click the blue “Edit Your Response” link at the bottom of the Google form if you already completed the form.
