The Biden administration announced a new tax credit in April 2021 that would help businesses offer paid time off for employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. Additionally, the tax credit would cover time off if an employee needs time to recover from side effects.

This new vaccination tax credit is an expansion of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act,

which became law in March 2020. The new tax credit applies to nearly all businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 500 employees. It provides up to $511 per day per employee for up to 10 workdays for the time taken off between April 1 and September 30, 2021.
