The current clinical advice is that individuals who contract COVID-19 should not be vaccinated until at least four weeks after onset of symptoms, or first positive test for those who are asymptomatic. As such, individuals who contract COVID-19 and must postpone their vaccination would be temporarily exempt from vaccination. Workers would have a period of 42 days following a positive test to receive their vaccine.
