NANS’s Commitment to Keeping You Safe
This year’s NANS Annual Meeting will look a little different than past ones. Capacity in some meeting rooms may be limited, we will also encourage social distancing wherever possible, and ensure frequent cleaning and sanitation of facilities.
To ensure a comfortable and effective environment for all our attendees during the Annual Meeting in Orlando, all attendees are required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival at the meeting venue in order to receive their badge. Attendees will also be asked to wear masks throughout the meeting in the convention spaces and meeting rooms.
To provide proof of vaccination status, NANS is encouraging all attendees to download the Clear Digital Vaccine App. The app is free for meeting attendees. You can download the app using this link on your smartphone and follow the prompts to enroll.
When opening the App, scroll down to complete the digital vaccine card and add your vaccination information.
Clear App Instructions:
When opening the app, do not click the first option to create your health pass.
Please scroll down to complete the Health Pass Digital Vaccine Card (blue)
- Click Add My Vaccination
- Click Get Started
Enter the following information:
- your email address
- your phone number
- scan your government issued photo ID
- scan your vaccine card
- fill out your vaccine administered information
When finished, your Digital Vaccine Card will read completed.
Alternatively, you may also present a copy of your official federal vaccine card or equivalent documentation if traveling from outside of the United States. Please also be prepared to show a government-issued form of identification for verification, if requested.
Staff will be stationed at the entrance of the meeting space in the hotel asking attendees to show their vaccine status prior to entering the facility each day of the meeting.
Additionally, if you have recently been exposed to COVID-19 and believe you may be at risk of spreading the disease, please do not attend the meeting in-person. If you become sick after you arrive to the meeting site, do not attend the meeting. Please notify hotel staff of your need to quarantine as they will have measures in place to accommodate your needs.
