The AUA will abide by and follow all CDC guidelines, as well as state, local and federal regulations. We will continue to update this page, so please check back for news and additional guidance.
AUA COVID-19 Safety Policies
The AUA will be instituting a COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination or Negative Test Result Entry Protocol for the 5th Annual Urology Advocacy Summit.
In practice, this means all AUA Summit attendees, exhibitors, vendors, guests and staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide negative test results taken 72-hours or less from the time of entry in order to gain access to the event. To collect proof of vaccination, the AUA is working with ShareMy.Health. Health credentials are stored in ShareMy.Health’s HIPAA compliant and protected data stores in Microsoft Azure. Your health data is only shared with organizations you approve of through the ShareMy.Health Platform. If you have not received an email to set up you ShareMy.Health profile, please reach out to Kaili Johnson at kjohnson@AUAnet.org.
There is no higher priority for the AUA than delivering a safe and successful AUA Summit, and we believe this is the safest approach for the well-being of our audience.
