A safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, coupled with continued preventive measures, is our best tool to end the COVID-19 pandemic and safely reopen San Francisco.
Employees are encouraged to sign up via the City's Get Notified Vaccine Webpage to receive a notification when you are eligible. Once you are notified, visit the City's Get Vaccinated Webpage to schedule an appointment at one of the City’s various vaccine sites. If you live outside of San Francisco and would prefer to receive the vaccine closer to home (if available), register through the State of California’s website for possible options at myturn.ca.gov.
Effective February 24, 2021, Commission employees requiring time off work for COVID-19 vaccinations can use any accrued sick leave, or their allocation of COVID-19 sick leave allocation (COV), for their own medical appointments or those scheduled for an immediate family member or dependent. Use of paid leave for vaccination appointments must be reasonable. Employees can use a portion of their one-time allocation of COVID-19 sick leave or personal accrued sick leave for side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.
To request time off, employees should submit the attached COVID-19 Sick Leave, Emergency FMLA, or Vacation Request Form to their supervisor.
Department of Human Resources (DHR) developed the attached FAQs to help provide answers with the available information. Administration of the vaccine is quickly evolving, which will result in information changing frequently. Please check the DHR COVID-19 webpage for employee specific information or sf.gov for general information about COVID-19 and the vaccine.
