COVID 19 Vaccination Guidelines for Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) Staff Members: On November 30, 2021, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued new Head Start Program Performance Standards to outline the masking and COVID-19 vaccination requirements for grant recipient staff, and the timelines, exceptions, and exemptions for each. The new regulations go into effect for HS/EHS staff members on January 31, 2022. Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) programs may allow exemptions to the vaccination requirement for those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions or sincerely held beliefs, practices, or observances. For those granted a vaccine exemption through the interactive accommodation process, there will be a weekly testing requirement. Without an approved vaccine exemption, there is no option for testing in lieu of receiving the vaccine. To qualify for employment in a HS/EHS program, applicants must show verification of COVID-19 vaccination or intention to request a medical or sincerely held belief exemption with proper documentation through the interactive accommodation process.
