Directions and notice to Federal employees Consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, has established specific safety protocols for fully vaccinated people and not fully vaccinated people, respectively. You may be asked to submit this completed form to your employing agency.

In areas of low or moderate transmission, as defined by CDC, fully vaccinated people generally can safely participate in most activities, indoor or outdoor, without needing to wear a mask or maintain physical distance, and do not need to undertake regular testing—please note that consistent with CDC guidance, agencies may have different protocols for fully vaccinated people in specific work settings, such as healthcare settings.

Employees who disclose that they are fully vaccinated will comply with agency guidance for fully vaccinated individuals. Employees who are unvaccinated, are not fully vaccinated, or who choose not to provide vaccine information are required to comply with CDC and agency guidance for not fully vaccinated individuals, including wearing masks regardless of the transmission rate in a given area, physical distancing, regular testing, and adhering to applicable travel restrictions.
