Vaccination/Testing Protocol for Upcoming In-Person Clinics
Since social distancing in a clinic environment is virtually impossible, and with the Delta Variant of COVID-19 driving cases up, hospitals running at or close to capacity, and keeping community health in mind, the ADS has implemented vaccination and testing protocols for both the in-person Combined Driving Licensed Officials Clinic and the Course Design Clinic.
All course clinicians, staff and attendees will be required to provide evidence of full vaccination* no later than two weeks prior to the clinic (email or text a copy of your vaccine card to abbie@americandrivingsociety.org or 530.902.8065) OR supply a negative COVID-19 PCR test drawn 48 hours prior to the start of the event and will be required to wear a mask at the event. Fully vaccinated individuals are encouraged to mask at their own discretion.
It is our hope that by requiring this protocol we will responsibly moderate community spread during this global pandemic.
*Fully Vaccinated – An individual is considered to be fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.), or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).
