In order to encourage public officials to be vaccinated and their children, public employers may grant a special leave of absence in 3 cases:

• when the officer is to be vaccinated outside the professional setting: for example, in a vaccination center, with a general practitioner— Authorization shall be granted for the period strictly necessary for this procedure and on presentation of proof of vaccination appointment.
• in case of significant side effects after vaccination. The public official shall send his employer a declaration on his honor that he is unable to work for that reason. This special leave may be granted on the day and the day after vaccination. Specific situations are examined on an individual basis.
• when the officer accompanies his children over 12 years of age to be vaccinated. Authorization shall be granted for the period strictly necessary for this procedure and on presentation of proof of vaccination appointment.
