PROTOCOLS FOR ATTENDING IN-PERSON PROGRAMS AT DOROT

DOROT has no general vaccination or mask requirements in place for older adults and volunteers participating in programs at this time.

Vaccination

For the safety of our community, DOROT strongly recommends that everyone be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, and annually against the flu. DOROT requires all employees to be fully vaccinated.

When Individuals Should Not Participate in DOROT’s In-Person Activities

  1. Have tested positive in the past 5 days for COVID-19.

DOROT continuously seeks the guidance of medical professionals and authorities and will adapt our protocols as the public health environment changes.
