LA5 Covid-19 Vaccine Protocol Updated June 18, 2021

In order to maximize the health and safety of Rotarians, guests, speakers, employees of the California Club*, and others who may potentially be in a high-risk category for complications due to COVID-19, LA5 asks that all its members receive a COVID-19 vaccination prior to returning to in-person luncheons/meetings hosted by our Club. We ask those members who are not vaccinated to wear a face covering mask during the meeting. Our Board believes that this request is consistent with our 4-way test.

Each member will be responsible to secure their vaccination. Members with a medical or disability-related limitation, a good-faith religious belief in opposition to vaccination, or a positive anti-body test, which provide cause not to receive the vaccine, are entitled to reasonable accommodation.  Enforcement of this policy will be on an honor system and consistent with our 4-way test question – Is it the Truth?

*Our Club will also adhere to any requirements set forth by our host venue, the California Club.
