Hello TFK Supporters,
As you are probably aware, King County recently issued a Health Order requiring verification of full vaccination status or a negative test to enter outdoor public events of 500 or more people and indoor entertainment and recreational establishments and events such as live music, performing arts, gyms, restaurants, and bars. You can read more here.
Who does this order apply to?
All attendees of our 20th Anniversary Winter Gala. It will go into effect October 25th. Everyone must provide proof of full vaccination status by that date. If not, we will require a negative test result from the past 72 hours before the Gala.
Definition of fully vaccinated
Fully Vaccinated status is accomplished 14 days after the 2nd dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
How do I provide verification of my vaccination status?
To avoid not being able to attend the Gala, please provide proof of your vaccination status as soon as possible.
Acceptable forms of proof are:
- CDC COVID-19 Vaccine Record Card, or photo of CDC Vaccine Record Card
- QR Code, digital or printed certificate from MyIRmobile.com (WA Department of Health partner website, My Immunization Records)
- Vaccine administration record from a vaccine provider, including an individual’s doctor, pharmacy, or other official immunization record from within or outside the U.S., including a photo or photocopy
- Specific mobile applications that verify vaccination status will be allowed if approved by the WA Department of Health or Public Health – Seattle & King County
As an alternative to providing vaccine verification, prior to entry individuals must provide digital or printed documentation from a testing agent, including a laboratory, health care provider, or pharmacy of:
- A negative FDA-approved PCR test administered within the previous 72 hours
Medical and religious vaccine exemptions are not accepted in place of vaccine verification or documentation of a negative COVID test.
Next Steps
To provide proof of your vaccination, you will either
- respond to the email with a copy of your card (we will not be keeping any card information on file) or
- bring your proof of vaccination with you at the Gala.
As an alternative to providing vaccine verification, you'll need to provide proof of a negative COVID test before our Gala.
Thanks for your patience and cooperation throughout constant changes with the Gala. We'll all continue to do everything we can to keep each other safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Rick & Heather
