All on-site AVS NM staff, instructors, and attendees must be in compliance with this rule, as well. No exceptions.
• If providing proof of vaccination, the vaccine card (physical or photo) must show both the first and second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines or the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
