The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends people get fully vaccinated as soon as possible. Per the CDC, vaccines are safe and highly effective at protecting people from severe COVID-19. Getting fully vaccinated may also protect people around you.

The CDC recommends prevention measures for unvaccinated people. If you are unvaccinated, you should continue to wear protective face coverings and practice social distancing while in public places to protect others.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. Macstock cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.

By attending Virtual Macstock 2021 as a VIP Passholder you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and you assume all responsibility for protecting yourself and the health of others around you.

NO! Macstock will not retain the Proof of Vaccination presented to us upon check in at Virtual Macstock 2021. We will ask you to present your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card to provide your proof of vaccination, but your record card will not otherwise be captured or retained. A typical COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card displays your name, birth date, the type of vaccination received, and the date(s) it was given.

You may absolutely bring a clear, easy to read and unobstructed (no blurred or blocked out sections), picture of the FRONT and BACK your original COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card on your iPhone (or Mac or iPad). Scans or photos of reproductions/photocopies as well as images of vaccine cards with portions obscured or blurred are not acceptable.
