If I am vaccinated against COVID-19, do I still need to take a test?

No; if you are fully vaccinated, simply follow the instructions for uploading your vaccination card in CLEAR.

I am not vaccinated; can I still attend?

Yes; if you are unvaccinated, you can still attend by taking a PCR or rapid antigen test no earlier than June 23 and uploading a negative test result in CLEAR.

If I am fully vaccinated but have not received a booster, can I still attend?

Yes; if you are fully vaccinated, you may attend even if you have not yet received a booster shot; simply follow the instructions for uploading your vaccination card in CLEAR.

What does it mean to be fully vaccinated?

According to CDC guidance, to be considered fully vaccinated, a person must be in one of two categories:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, or
• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.

I used CLEAR Health Pass for a different event. Do I need to do anything?

If your vaccination card is already loaded in CLEAR, you simply need to link it to RISE23. Follow these steps:

• Open your CLEAR app, tap ‘Events’, and select the ‘RISE23 Attendee’ tile under ‘Conferences’
• Verify your identity with a quick selfie
• Follow the prompts to verify your proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test results
• Accept the Know Before You Go

If you previously uploaded a negative test result in CLEAR, you will need to take a new PCR or rapid antigen test no earlier than June 23 and upload a negative test result in CLEAR.
