Here is your Next Step: Registration and Vaccination Proof

• Vaccine Requirements

  The COVID-19 pandemic is constantly changing, but DIA’s commitment to the health and safety of our constituents remains consistent. Because of DIA’s unwavering commitment to protecting and preserving public health we have made the decision that all participants at in-person DIA Meetings, Workshops, Forums and Conferences, whether a presenter, attendee, exhibitor, staff, guest, or vendor, are required to be fully vaccinated.

  Participants must provide proof of vaccination after registering for an in-person event.” The CDC’s definition of “fully vaccinated” is a person who has received their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines and is two weeks past their final dose of the primary series. In the US, the primary series is defined as two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, two doses of Moderna, one dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen. Our vaccine verification software can accept and review international vaccine dosages. DIA strongly encourages all attendees to stay up to date on vaccinations, which means receiving the booster dose(s) when eligible, as extra protection.

  For any participant who is unable to be vaccinated due to disability or medical condition, or in connection with a sincerely held religious belief or practice please reach out to NAEvents@DIAglobal.org to see if accommodation can be made. DIA recognizes and respects that all who choose to participate will make the best decision for themselves and will be responsible for their own choices.
