COVID-19 Safety

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, we are adopting a policy to safeguard the health of our members and the community at large. The AAOA strongly encourages all attendees at AAOA meetings to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

As part of AAOA’s new policy, all attendees, upon arrival at our event and in order to be allowed to enter the event space, are required to show documentation of either 1) full vaccination against COVID-19 or 2) proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test performed within 72 hours of arrival.

Acceptable documentation includes:

  • Physical vaccination card
  • Digital vaccination record
  • Photograph of vaccination card
  • Physical or digital proof of negative PCR test results

AAOA meeting attendees must also take precautions to prevent acquiring breakthrough infections and follow CDC guidelines regarding masking, social distancing, etc.  Additionally, attendees must adhere to all requirements and guidelines of the State of New Mexico, the City of Santa Fe, and the event facility to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the 2022 AAOA Advanced Course in Santa Fe. Currently, as of 01/10/22, Santa Fe requires masks for all indoor venues. As a result, the meeting rooms will require a mask.

The AAOA, in its sole discretion, may decline to allow anyone not adhering to these safety precautions to enter the event space; in which case any registration fees or other amounts paid or incurred by any such person shall be deemed forfeited and not subject to reimbursement or refund.
