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 life-savingĀ Covid 19 Vaccines are FREE and WIDELY AVAILABLE.
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 for both initial shots and booster shots. 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.
