Federal employees have more paid time off from OPM to get COVID-19 booster shots

The Office of Personnel Management is making it a little easier for federal employees to get their booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Employees now have up to four hours of paid administrative leave, after OPM authorized the time off on Oct. 6. Feds can also use time off to take family members to get their doses of the vaccine. And any employees who are not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 can use the time off toward getting their first dose.

1. My luck too, just getting over Covid.

I think I am supposed to wait 90 days before getting the new vaccine now.
