https://bangordailynews.com/2021/08/06/news/nation/vaccination-form-for-federal-workers-adds-penalties-for-lies/WASHINGTON Federal employees who need to certify their vaccination status under a new policy instituted by President Joe Biden intended to encourage COVID-19 shots will face disciplinary action and potentially criminal prosecution if they lie on the form.
The Biden administration on Friday unveiled the attestation form that employees will need to fill out confirming whether they have been fully vaccinated against the virus, adding legal teeth to the presidents mandate. Federal employees wont be following the honor system but will instead be required to acknowledge that making a knowing and willful false statement on this form can be punished by fine or imprisonment or both.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the form which was distributed Friday to agency leadership and points of contact for COVID safety protocol implementation.
Under Bidens policy, those who are not vaccinated or choose not to complete the form will be subject to mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing requirements and will be ineligible for official travel in most cases.
