Now, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s Nov. 2 determination that everyone five years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccine, that guidance now applies to a younger group of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feds can be granted up to four hours of such leave per dose per child, though agencies have been instructed to only grant the amount of leave necessary for each dose, rather than defaulting to the maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees also have to get advance approval before using administrative leave for such purposes and cannot be credited leave or overtime work for time spent getting a child vaccinated outside their normal duty hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As defined under U.S. code, a person constitutes as a child of a federal employee if they are the biological, adopted, or a step or foster child of that employee; they are the legal ward of that employee; they are determined to be under in <a

target=\"_blank\">loco parentis<\/a> of that employee; or they are the child of the employee\u2019s spouse or domestic partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such leave would also apply in the future to a booster shot against COVID-19, although people under 18 years old have not yet been approved to receive such a booster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children
