COVID-19 Safety Protocols

We are so excited to welcome you safely back to the festival! Please read through the following carefully so that you know what to expect.


PROOF OF VACCINATION

We will require proof of full vaccination, including at least one booster shot, for all attendees of our in-person festival.

You are considered “fully vaccinated” two weeks after completing the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., Pfizer or Moderna) or two weeks after receiving a single dose of a one-dose vaccine (e.g., Johnson & Johnson/Janssen). Please be prepared to present your proof of vaccination along with a photo ID when you first check-in and redeem your pass. You may need to present it again when entering some of our partner venues throughout the festival.

What documentation is accepted?

You may present a vaccination card, a photo of your card, or a digital vaccine record with matching photo ID.

Can I present a negative PCR test instead of proof of vaccine?

No, we require proof of vaccination.

What if I am unable to prove my vaccination status, or do not meet all the requirements? Can I still attend NFFTY?

You will be unable to attend our events in Seattle, but you will be able to participate fully in our virtual events throughout the festival.

MASK POLICY

As of March 22, 2022, masks are still required at all of our screening venues. You will be expected to remain fully masked in all of our festival venues when not actively eating or drinking.
