AHA therefore plans to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination from participants attending in-person meetings hosted by AHA or AHA affiliates, including the AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference at the Arizona Grand Resort and Spa, subject to applicable CDC and local guidance. For each event, AHA will be continuously monitoring the guidance and will provide additional details on safety protocols closer to the event start date.
