LRF Health and Safety Policy for In-Person Patient Education Programs

|| PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – ALL IN ATTENDANCE TO IN-PERSON PATIENT PROGRAMS MUST FOLLOW BELOW PROTOCOL TO HELP PROTECT ALL THOSE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS ||

The Lymphoma Research Foundation is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its employees, supporters, and constituents. Some people with lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remain vulnerable to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, as they can be immune compromised. To keep everyone as healthy and safe as possible, the Foundation has put the following policy in place for its patient education programs: 

Lymphoma Research Foundation encourages its program attendees and participants to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Currently, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for everyone ages 6 months and older in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19. Proof of vaccination will not be required to attend the event unless your venue or city/county ordinance require this.

Lymphoma Research Foundation also strongly encourages that all program attendees and participants wear a mask during the event. Masks will be made available free of charge throughout the event. 

In addition, the Foundation will take other safety precautions during the event including: 

  • Contactless Registration/Check-in and Materials Distribution  
  • Separate areas for the consumption of food and beverages 
  • Hand sanitizer stations throughout the event 
  • Designated seating for attendees who wish to remain masked throughout the program 

Lymphoma Research Foundation also requires that you do not attend any Foundation event if you either A) test positive for COVID-19 or are exposed to someone who subsequently tests positive for COVID-19 in the 14 days period before the program or B) are actively experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or another infectious disease on event day.

The health and safety of program attendees is the Foundation’s top priority. As such, the Foundation will continue to monitor the environment and, prior to the event, will share whether there are any additional details regarding health and safety requirements unique to this event.

Thank you in advance for helping keep each other safe and healthy.
