Prom (Graduation) Pointers:
 Get vaccinated now to be able to participate in end-of-the-year
celebrations without having to be tested or miss out because you were
exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
 All proms with over 100 participants (students and chaperones) are
required to either be fully vaccinated (2 weeks after single dose Johnson
& Johnson or 2 weeks after 2nd dose of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines) or
have a valid negative test for COVID-19. If the individual has a PCR test it
is good for up to 72 hours. The rapid antigen tests are only good for 6
hours on the day of the event, so timing to get that test is important.
 Limiting contacts with non-vaccinated individuals, proper mask wearing
(covering nose & mouth), frequent handwashing, social distancing at
least 6 feet from non-household members at least 2 weeks before your
prom (or graduation) may protect you from missing this milestone event. If you test positive you will not be allowed to attend the event and it will
also affect your contacts who are not fully vaccinated to not be able to
attend.
 Getting the vaccine with plenty of time to become ‘fully vaccinated’ is the
only way to assure you won’t miss these end of the year celebrations.

Vaccine Update: Both counties are offering vaccination clinic registration via phone –
these numbers are for COVID Vaccination Registration ONLY.

In Genesee call (585) 815-7168

In Orleans call (585) 589-3170.
