Vaccines
YAMA is considering requiring the COVID vaccine for all participants of the program. We'd like your help to make this decision. Let us know your thoughts by answering this short, anonymous survey. You can also email covid@yamamusic.org.
As we have more people learn together, the risk of COVID increases. Vaccines are one of the best ways to prevent COVID. Requiring vaccines would help us teach and learn safely with more people.
If we were to require vaccination, we would:
Have a grace period to allow time to get vaccinated
Only require vaccines that have been fully approved by the FDA. Vaccines under an emergency use authorization would not be required. Currently, only people 16 and older would be required to be vaccinated.
Only require vaccines that are free and easy to get
Allow exceptions to those that can't get the vaccine due to documented health reason
Thank you so much for your input!
