If receiving a two-dose series, the employee should be required to receive the second dose within six weeks of receiving the first dose,\u201d the guidance states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the employee already received a first dose of a two-dose series, they should be required to receive their second dose no later than two weeks after clinical considerations no longer recommend delay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pregnancy or breastfeeding does not on its face warrant a vaccination delay, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends vaccination for such people, but other medical conditions related to pregnancy or recent birth may require a delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feds with extreme allergic reactions to their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or a known extreme allergy to components of the vaccines may also qualify for an exemption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain medical conditions not classified as disabilities may still warrant some employees delaying their COVID-19
