NAPO COVID In-Person Meeting Policy

Effective February 2023, NAPO will no longer require proof of vaccination status or a negative test result to attend a NAPO in-person meeting or event. Mask-wearing at NAPO meetings and events is encouraged but will be optional.

Instead, NAPO expects attendees to take responsibility themselves for following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and their local health officials, on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications. NAPO urges all members to follow the CDC’s recommendation that everyone over age 12 receive the updated bivalent vaccine as soon as they are eligible to do so (e.g., 2 months past their last shot).
