Health and Safety

Your health and safety are of the utmost importance. The SOA continues to monitor guidelines for health and safety measures from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State of Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia County. 

We continue to evaluate and expand our protocols as medical recommendations evolve and will update this page—in addition to sending direct communications to registered attendees—so you know what to expect when you arrive in Philadelphia.

The SOA has taken the following steps to ensure your safety:

  • We are working closely with the local community and hotel. The SOA will follow applicable federal, state and local laws, adapting our plans accordingly and sharing updates with you along the way.
  • We require all attendees to review and comply with the SOA COVID-19 Safety Protocol Agreement. Before being admitted to the 2022 SOA Health Meeting, attendees will be required to provide either (a) proof of vaccination, with the final dose administered at least 14 days prior to the Event; or (b) proof of a negative, medically observed COVID-19 test (PCR or antigen) taken within 3 days prior to the arrival at the meeting.
  • The SOA partners with ShareMyHealth to validate attendee health status prior to attending the 2022 SOA Health Meeting. ShareMyHealth allows attendees to share their vaccination records or lab results prior to attending the event.
  • Mask-wearing and social distancing may by implemented pending local protocols and procedures.
  • We will put our best effort forward to abide by social distancing guidelines recommended by the CDC.

Masks and Vaccine Status

  • As of April 22, 2022, Philadelphia  has lifted the mask and vaccine mandate in public spaces including public transportation.
