Vaccination requirements

Infections such as COVID-19, Measles, and Pertussis (whooping cough) are highly contagious and can lead to serious illness and even death, especially in babies less than a year old. Families should consult with their health professional about the appropriate time to vaccinate or regarding concerns about the risk of exposure to themselves or their child(ren), regardless of age.

PEPS strongly encourages and recommends our participants and Group Leaders to be vaccinated before participating in, leading, or visiting an in-person PEPS Group. 

PEPS is not equipped to monitor all families’ immunization or health records and cannot guarantee that all families have been vaccinated. An inherent risk of exposure to these and other diseases exists in any public place where people are present regardless of vaccination status. Vaccines reduce the risks associated with contagious diseases. 

Hygiene & Illness

The best way to stop the spread of illness is to keep sick people away from those who are not sick. 

• We have a zero-tolerance policy for illness. If you are exhibiting symptoms, you must stay home. If someone in your household is exhibiting symptoms or has a confirmed illness, but you are not, you may only attend if you wear a mask and have no symptoms.
