COVID-19 Safety Protocols
and Vaccination Policy

ANCC continues to be committed to the health and safety of its attendees, staff, volunteers, and other conference stakeholders.

COVID19 Protocols

  1. All attendees must show proof of full vaccination and photo identification upon arrival at the conference for admittance and badge pickup.
  2. Only those showing proof of full vaccination will be admitted.
  3. No other documentation (e.g., negative test, presence of antibodies, exemptions) is acceptable.
  4. Mask-wearing at the conference is encouraged, but optional. Mask-wearing for indoor settings reduces the risk of contracting and spreading the virus.

  • Only those showing proof of full vaccination will be admitted. No other documentation (e.g., negative test, presence of antibodies, exemptions) is acceptable.

  • ANCC cannot be held liable for COVID-19 cases arising because of event attendance and currently requires all attendees at the conference.
  • Failure to comply with the safety protocols and requirements as listed above or related directions from ANCC representatives on-site may result in the loss of the right to attend or participate in ANCC events, including forfeiting any registration fees paid.
  • If you do not have a digital copy and no longer have a physical copy of your vaccine card, please follow the CDC guidelines on how to obtain a replacement in time for the conference.
