COVID-19 Safety Recommendations

For the health and safety of all in attendance at the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting, GSA recommends that individuals take responsibility for protecting themselves and other participants by following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications. GSA recommends and urges all attendees to follow the CDC’s recommendation for updated vaccine as soon as they are eligible to do so. For more information, please review the guidelines at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html.

For the health and safety of GSA 2023 attendees, GSA’s COVID-19 safety recommendation or established protocol is subject to change based on COVID-19 community infection levels and any updated guidance from CDC and/or federal or state officials in localities hosting the GSA in-person meeting.

If you begin to exhibit any of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, we encourage you to follow CDC guidelines. Please self-test or visit a Tampa testing site.  Should you test positive while onsite, please inform Jim Evans, GSA VP-Operations [email protected] of your positive results; reporting is strictly confidential.
