1. Have a contraindication recognized by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Covered workers requesting a medical/disability exemption will be required to provide a

accommodated, they must become Partially or Fully Vaccinated (and provide proof of vaccination
to the Human Resources Department as provided above) within fourteen (14) calendar days after
receiving notice that their exemption has been denied, and must be Fully Vaccinated (and provide
