Safety Protocols

The American College of Toxicology is fully committed to taking appropriate precautions to provide a safe and healthy environment for participants of the Annual Meeting.

Verification of full vaccination will not be required for entry into the Annual Meeting.

ACT has continued to monitor the COVID-19 situation along with local and federal guidelines. Based on local current health mandates, ACT will not require proof of vaccination or proof of a negative PCR test. However, the local mandates could change; therefore, we ask that individuals bring a mask and proof of vaccination. You may also want to consider bringing an at-home COVID-19 test kit with you.

ACT expects that attendees use the CDC’s self-checker website daily. Should you feel unwell or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19, we ask that you isolate.

Before Leaving Home

• Pack mask(s) and proof of vaccination.
• Pack an at-home COVID-19 test kit.
• Follow relevant guidance provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), CDC, and your local health authority.
• Adhere to government-issued travel restrictions and guidance issued by the region you will be traveling to and the region you are traveling from.
• Evaluate your own health and that of people you are in close contact with.
• Stay home if you feel sick.
