Yes, all attendees must be up to date with COVID vaccines, meaning all attendees must have received a second dose of a two-dose vaccine, or a single dose of the Janssen-Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two weeks prior to Mysterium (no later than July 29, 2022). This may also include a booster requirement depending on when you received your initial vaccine course:
- The second dose of a two-dose vaccine was obtained prior to February 26, 2022
- The single dose of the Janssen-Johnson & Johnson vaccine was obtained prior to May 29, 2022
If you are required to obtain a booster, you must receive it no later than one week prior to the beginning of Mysterium (no later than August 5). The booster is not required to be from the same manufacturer as your initial vaccine course, but you should follow CDC guidelines on booster selection.
No additional booster will be required regardless of the time a first booster was received, although a second booster is recommended if available and within CDC guidelines.
In summary, this is what you’ll need (dates refer to second dose of a two-dose vaccine or sole dose of Janssen-J&J):
| Vaccine Type | Date | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Any accepted 2-dose vaccine – no booster | On or before February 25, 2022 | Booster required by August 5 |
| On or after February 26, 2022 | No booster required | |
| Janssen-Johnson & Johnson vaccine – no booster | On or before May 28, 2022 | Booster required by August 5 |
| On or after May 29, 2022 | No booster required | |
| Any 2 dose vaccine or Janssen-Johnson & Johnson – with booster | Booster obtained on or before August 5, 2022 | No additional booster required |
