Registration of each individual in your group who will be attending is required so the organizers can plan for space and food needs, and create name badges. The ATS requires that all attendees, including exhibitors, vendors, and staff, show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination,* which consists of the full course of the vaccine plus booster, before being allowed to enter any conference facilities. Masks are also required. *Complete vaccine & masking policy available here *** By registering, you agreeing to abide by the cross infection guidelines listed below***PCD Foundation Cross Infection Notice The possibility of cross-infection between PCD individuals observing proper hygienic measures may be very low. Nevertheless, the PCD Foundation prohibits individuals who have cultured positive with MRSA or other pan-resistant bacteria, or who are actively infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Burkholderia cepacia or NTM infections from attending PCD Foundation events.  Despite extensive precautions, we cannot guarantee a patient event that is free of infectious organisms. Please be cognizant of your own health and that of others and be aware that the very nature of cross-infection, inaccurate laboratory cultures, and other factors make it impossible to insure a “bug” free gathering. Therefore we urge everyone to discuss these issues with your personal physician and decide together whether you wish to attend this patient event.
