HealthShield
SMS based Covid-19 Symptom Screening and Vaccine/Test Upload for the 2022 ARNOVA Annual Conference
The Annual ARNOVA Conference is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all participants. For that reason, we have decided to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID test (Antigen, NAAT Molecular or PCR) that has been administered by an accredited lab, pharmacy, or clinic no more than 72 hours before the first day in attendance at the conference. ARNOVA will be using HealthShield by 42Chat to collect vaccine and negative COVID test verification.
How it works
- All registered attendees receive a text and/or email with the instructions to submit their proof of vaccine/negative COVID-19 test.
- From your cell phone follow the link sent via text and upload your proof of vaccine
- From your email – follow the link to upload your proof of vaccine
- Proof of a negative COVID test (Antigen, NAAT Molecular or PCR) that has been administered by an accredited lab can be submitted no more than 72 hours before the first day of attendance at the conference
- Your upload will be verified and approved
- An email or text will be sent confirming your submission has been approved
Here are some frequent asked questions about this tool:
