GSA just told our company that they will be closing all contracts with any company that is not 100% compliant by Dec 8th. The deadline to submit exemptions is Nov 4th (we were only notified yesterday).
I submitted a religious exemption, but I'm not optimistic that it will be approved. Here are the questions on their exemption form. They are clearly trying to catch anyone in a double standard. I'm guessing the majority of exemptions will be denied.
Please describe the nature of your objection to the COVID-19 vaccination requirement.
Would complying with the COVID-19 vaccination requirement substantially burden your religious exercise? If so, please explain how.
How long have you held the religious belief underlying your objection?
Please describe whether, as an adult, you have received any vaccines against any other diseases (such as a flu vaccine or a tetanus vaccine) and, if so, what vaccine you most recently received and when, to the best of your recollection.
If you do not have a religious objection to the use of all vaccines, please explain why your objectionis limited to particular vaccines.
If there are any other medicines or products that you do not use because of the religious belief underlying your objection, please identify them.
Please provide any additional information that you think may be helpful in reviewing your request.
