COVID-19 Health & Safety Protocols
(January 1, 2022)

Vaccination

Temple Sholom requires those eligible* to be fully vaccinated** and to show proof of full vaccination upon entering the building. We ask that you please come prepared to show proof of vaccination every time you enter the temple. 

Those who are not fully vaccinated or who are not yet two weeks post full vaccination must present a negative PCR Test taken within seventy-two (72) hours of entry into Temple Sholom.


Proof of vaccination may be shown the following ways:

  • Show the Physical Vaccination Card
  • Show a Picture or Scanned Image of the Vaccination Card
Those who are not fully vaccinated or who are not yet two weeks post full vaccination must present a negative PCR Test taken within seventy-two (72) hours of entry into Temple Sholom.

* As of January 1, 2022, those who are five (5) years of age and older are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19 (About COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC). 

** For purposes of Temple Sholom’s Health & Safety Protocols, individuals are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the original COVID-19 vaccination shot(s) AND any COVID-19 booster vaccination shot(s) for which they are eligible.  In October 2021, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) expanded  the list of those eligible for an additional dose of any of the three COVID-19 vaccines (FDA Takes Additional Action on Use of Booster Dose for COVID-19 Vaccines) and in December 2021, the FDA further expanded eligibility for an additional dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech booster vaccine for 16 – and 17-Year-Olds (FDA Expands Eligibility Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Booster). Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently recommends that everyone over the age of sixteen (16) get a booster shot when eligible (COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC).
