Since September 9, 2021, each executive agency must implement a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination program for its employees, allowing for exceptions only as required by law (5 U.S.C. §105; EO 14043, §§2, 3(a)). DOD implemented the federal employee COVID-19 vaccination mandate on October 1, 2021, which requires all DOD civilians to be vaccinated by November 22, 2021 (DOD Memorandum). This Insight summarizes the federal employee vaccination mandate as implemented in DOD and applied to DOD civilians. For a summary of the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for military personnel, see CRS Insight IN11764, The Military's COVID-19 Vaccination Mandate, by Bryce H. P. Mendez. For a summary of the federal government contractor employee vaccination mandate, see CRS Insight IN11803, Executive Order 14042 Requirements for COVID-19 Vaccination of Federal Contractors, coordinated by Heidi M. Peters. Federal Employee Vaccination Mandate Implementation Under the vaccination mandate, an employee is any individual appointed into the federal civil service by an authorized official, including certain foreign citizens employed overseas (5 U.S.C. §2105). Also, individuals paid from non-appropriated funds are incorporated into the mandate's definition of an employee (EO 14043, §3(b)). The Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees Executive Order is the specific authority for mandating federal employee COVID-19 vaccinations. It includes a determination that to promote the health and safety of the Federal workforce and the efficiency of the civil service, it is necessary to require COVID-19 vaccination for all Federal employees, subject to such exceptions as required by law.
