Mandatory Vaccination Requirement
Given the recent surge of the COVID-19 Delta variant, WCBR is implementing a mandatory vaccine requirement for all in-person meeting attendees. Entrance to the Conference Center and all designated WCBR meeting spaces will also be limited to registered scientific meeting attendees and staff only. Guests and children will still be welcome to attend the Mountain Lunch and Closing Banquet with purchased guest tickets.
All registrants will be required to upload a photo of their COVID-19 vaccination card during registration. Those wishing to apply for a medical exemption authorized by their primary care provider may reach out to the WCBR Executive Office at info@winterbrain.org to request a medical exemption form.
During registration, attendees will also be asked to sign the WCBR Waiver and Release of Liability for Communicable Disease, acknowledging that they understand the risks involved with in-person meetings. Due to the evolving nature of COVID-19, WCBR will publish all final safety protocols (in the form of a COVID Code of Conduct) on December 1, 2021 to ensure that the most up-to-date guidance from the CDC is considered. Registrants will receive the COVID Code of Conduct via email and will need to attest that they will comply with these measures.
