COVID Policy:
Please note that our COVID vaccination policy has changed for our 2023 conference. Fortunately, we are in a much stronger place today as a nation, with more tools—like vaccinations, boosters, and treatments—to protect ourselves and our communities, from severe illness from COVID-19. While the pandemic is not over, we have moved to a point where COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts our daily lives. PADONA strongly encourages all of our conference attendees, exhibitors, supporters, and speakers to get vaccinated, including boosters, as a primary defense against COVID-19. We are all professionals who work with a vulnerable population. As such, I expect that we will be honorable and forthright in our decision-making. For our 2023 conference, we ask that each participant complete a COVID-19 test (preferably PCR test) within 48 hours of conference arrival and only attend with negative results. Do not attend the conference with cold or flu-like symptoms, such as head congestion, fever, cough, rhinitis, tiredness, body aches, headache, sore throat, nausea and/or diarrhea. Immediately leave the conference if any of the above symptoms develop while onsite and notify conference staff of symptoms.
