<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Brandy, here are WA’s guidelines effective 3/5/2021. This guidance is applicable to general government agencies but higher education institutions, boards and commissions, and agencies led by separately elected officials are encouraged
to follow these guidelines.<o:p></o:p></p>

<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">General government agencies must permit employees to take a reasonable amount of leave with pay for the employee to travel and receive each dose of COVID-19 immunization if the vaccine
is not offered at the workplace. Leave in excess of one day may be authorized in extraordinary circumstances, such as to accommodate travel where the vaccine is unavailable locally. The employer may require that the request for leave be supported by documentation,
which may include proof of the vaccination. This policy guidance is effective until the expiration of proclamation 20-05, issued February 29, 2020, by the Governor and declaring an emergency in the state of Washington, or any amendment thereto, whichever is
later. If state or federal law otherwise provides paid leave specifically to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, this provision no longer applies.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

vaccine is offered is not the employee’s regular work site. However, employers offering the vaccine at the workplace may provide reasonable leave with pay to travel and receive the vaccine.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Employers offering vaccine at the workplace may allow, but are not required to allow, employees to receive the vaccine on work time.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
