COVID-19 Vaccination Policy
- Attendees of COSM 2022 must show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, or daily negative test, in order to pick up an attendee badge.
- Attendees must be fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or World Health Organization (WHO). A list of approved vaccines can be found here.
- COSM 2022 requires that masks be worn by all attendees and staff at all times, except when actively eating and drinking. If this policy changes, registrants will be notified.
- COSM 2022 requires that all attendees must claim their own badge at badge pick-up.
- Alternate Pathway for Non-Vaccinated:
- In the event one is not vaccinated due to health or religious reasons, results of a daily (taken within 24 hours prior to the start of each meeting day) negative test must be submitted each day of participation. Self-administered tests will not be accepted; testing must be performed by a lab or service that provides printed or digital results that include your full name, date of test, and location of test. Here is a list of some nearby test providers in Dallas.
Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination Process for Domestic Attendees
To simplify and speed up badge pickup, COSM 2022 will use CLEAR to collect proof of vaccination for U.S. based attendees. CLEAR’s free mobile app and Health Pass feature provides a simple and secure way for this information to be shared. For the most efficient entry into COSM 2022, all registrants should sign up for CLEAR and complete their COVID-19 proof of vaccination as soon as possible, but at least 48 hours before arriving at badge pick up.
