We understand that some members experience medical barriers to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. If you have medical reasons for not receiving the vaccine, please submit a brief explanation, and we'll review that information to determine Convention attendance. Thank you for joining with us to create a safe environment for all CLA members.
