Prepare for a Safe Visit to San Francisco

Forum Attendees:

CAFP requires all individuals (including CAFP members, staff, speakers, vendors, and guests) participating in CAFP events to be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated includes having received a primary series of vaccine, plus a booster, if eligible. Please bring your vaccination card or other proof of vaccination. You will be required to show this at check in.

**We are also requesting all attendees to test for COVID-19 on the day of arrival (a negative home test is acceptable).**

CAFP requires event participants to be fully masked, wearing a CDC recommended mask covering your nose and mouth while indoors, except when actively eating or drinking.

Please do not attend the event if you have any signs or symptoms of COVID. You will be asked to attest to the absence of symptoms when you check-in.

San Francisco Guidelines:
In the city of San Francisco you must show proof of vaccination to go indoors in some places in San Francisco, like:

  • Bars
  • Restaurants
  • Clubs
  • Gyms
  • Large indoor events
  • Any business or event serving food or drinks indoors

You will still need to wear a mask in most of these places, even if you are vaccinated. Additionally, you cannot use a self-attestation of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. You must have proof that you are vaccinated.

You can show your Vaccination Record Card (CRC) from the CDC. Or you can show an image of the card, if you have a picture on your phone.

If you don’t have your card, find out other ways to verify you have been vaccinated.
