The Food & Drug Administration has approved the Pfizer Covid Vaccine Booster Shot for those of age 65 and with certain conditions. The Moderna booster shot approval is still pending, but is expected soon. Meanwhile, the original life-saving Covid 19 Vaccines (Shots 1 & 2) are FREE and WIDELY AVAILABLE for everyone over age 12.
It appears that vaccine requirements are fast becoming the policy at most bluegrass events. Due to the spread of the highly-contagious Delta Variant of the Covid 19 Virus, bluegrass fans are increasingly unwilling to attend bluegrass events where unvaccinated persons are also permitted to attend. On a forward-going basis, proof of vaccine status will likely be required to attend.
The initial vaccine process requires one to two months to complete, with additional time required to complete a booster shot when needed, so advance planning is advised if you wish to attend any live, in-person bluegrass music events in the future. Within a few days or weeks, additional regulatory approval is expected. So, this fall will be a good time for bluegrass fans to get their vaccine status in order in advance of upcoming festivals and other events as live bluegrass music returns in full force during 2022.
