General Volunteer COVID-19 Requirements

Due to COVID-19, all volunteers are required to have documented proof that they are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination.

A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series of vaccination and one booster when eligible (6 months after Pfizer of Moderna or 2 months after Janssen). Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time.
