Health and Safety
The health and safety of every attendee are crucial to us. AIM is taking measures to ensure safety at the 2022 AIM Leadership in Action Conference.
AIM will adhere to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania guidance on vaccinations, masking, and other safety mitigation strategies for the Leadership in Action Conference. Please note that these safety measures are subject to change.
Vaccinations
The Association of Immunization Managers (AIM) is dedicated to establishing a nation free of vaccine-preventable disease. AIM expects ALL 2022 Leadership in Action Conference attendees to be up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations.
Proof of vaccination will not be required. By registering, you affirm your support for vaccines and acknowledge that you are up-to-date or medically exempted from COVID-19 vaccination. Individuals with religious or philosophical objections to the COVID-19 vaccine are asked not to attend out of respect for AIM’s mission and AIM members’ work to eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases, as well as to mitigate any risk to other attendees.
Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is not currently required in Philadelphia; however, proof of vaccination may continue to exist at individual businesses. AIM encourages all attendees to bring their vaccine card/proof of vaccination – just in case!
Masking
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is aligned with CDC guidelines that allow fully vaccinated people to resume activities without wearing a mask, except where required by additional local guidelines. Masks are currently not required in Philadelphia, though city officials strongly recommend mask-wearing in indoor public spaces in the city. AIM strongly encourages all attendees to wear a mask during conference sessions. We will also have masks available for conference participants.
Feeling sick?
AIM requests that attendees stay home/not travel if they feel sick. If attendees feel sick during the conference, they should isolate and test for COVID-19. Attendees who are not feeling well or test positive for COVID-19 should not engage in conference activities. AIM will have COVID-19 tests on hand for those who need them.
Please refer to our refund policy if you cannot attend the conference due to sickness or other reasons.
Other health/safety precautions
