Dear AFGE Leader,

The administration has announced that they will be deferring suspensions and removals related to President Biden’s vaccine mandate until after the holiday season.

AFGE previously asked the administration to harmonize the vaccine deadlines for federal workers and contractors. This announcement, in effect, responds to that request. Once again, President Biden has demonstrated his commitment to hearing from rank-and-file federal employees through their unions and responding to workers’ concerns.

While we applaud the new policy that defers suspensions and removals, we continue to encourage all our members who are able to obtain one of the FDA-approved anti-COVID vaccines as soon as they possibly can.

For additional resources related to the COVID-19 vaccine requirements please visit www.afge.org/VaccineMandate.

In Solidarity,

AFGE
