Registered attendees on-location at an ACP meeting or event must be up to date with Covid-19 vaccination prior to the event. Up to date vaccination means having received a full primary series and a booster dose when eligible, prior to the event. For U.S. residents, acceptable primary series vaccines are Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson; for individuals living outside of the United States, other primary series vaccines the WHO has indicated meet necessary criteria for safety and efficacy are also accepted. To enter the U.S., the CDC requires non-U.S. citizens to be fully vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19. In addition, ACP requires an acceptable booster dose for those eligible so that their vaccination status is “up to date” as defined by CDC recommendations.
ACP permits registered attendees to attest to being vaccinated. Registered attendees not attesting must provide acceptable documentation of vaccination. Acceptable documentation will be the card (or photo of the card) provided at the vaccination site, a letter from a health care professional indicating vaccination is completed, or verification of vaccination status from the state department of health. ACP may accept other forms of proof as appropriate.
ACP staff will access and disclose vaccine documentation only as necessary for the ACP meeting or event. ACP does not permit exceptions to this policy. Non-compliance will result in exclusion from the on-location ACP event.
