The Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) strongly encourages all eligible meeting participants to be vaccinated prior to traveling to the Yankee Dental Congress (Yankee). Any public space where other people are present holds an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. We advise all attendees to take necessary precautions while at Yankee including, but not limited to, following all state and local regulations, and following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for example, related to distance, contact and masking.

At this time, there is no requirement from the state of Massachusetts. All attendees are welcome to wear masks if they choose to do so, and masks will be available onsite if needed. If for some reason, policies change, all attendees will be notified.
