MPA 2022 COVID-19 Mask and Vaccine Requirements (as of March 23rd)

Please note MPA is continuing it’s COVID-19 mitigation efforts but we have updated those policies.

The mask and vaccine requirements are listed below. Please note the change in point 3:

(1) Masks are still required in all conference rooms for all attendees regardless of vaccination status.

(2) All attendees (e.g., presenters, attendees, family members attending single sessions) must either be fully vaccinated (see HERE for what it means to be fully vaccinated), or…

(3) For those people who are not vaccinated, they may attend if and only if they show proof of a negative rapid-antigen test or PCR test, administered by a medical professional, within 3 days of entering the conference. A negative at home test will NOT be accepted.

FOR VACCINATED ATTENDEES: You can upload your card NOW! Click HERE for info about how to do so. People will be considered fully vaccinated if they meet the following criteria:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
• International attendees who have vaccination records from their home country will also be accepted

If you don’t meet these requirements, you are NOT fully vaccinated.

FOR THOSE PROVIDING A NEGATIVE TEST: Anyone who is not vaccinated will be required to show a negative rapid-antigen test or negative PCR test, performed by a medical professional, within 3 days of the conference. A negative at home test will NOT be accepted. Attendees will be responsible for getting their test either before they leave or upon arriving in Chicago.
