  • Vaccination Policy & Updates

    .
  • Due to the nature of our camper population, many of whom are immunocompromised, we ask that you help us in ensuring that Camp Kidney is a safe space for these campers by:

    1. With the increase of Measles outbreaks around the United States, all volunteers MUST have received the MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) vaccination.

    Vaccination reccords can be obtained from your former peditrician's office or if you are an Arizona native, online at the Arizona Deptarment of Health Services https://irr.azdhs.gov/irr-form.php . Most states also have an online form to receive older immunization reccords. 

    If you are unable to obtain your reccords, a titer (blood draw/test) may be performed. NKF will pay for the lab costs. Please reach out to Ashleigh directly to schedule this. 

    2. Due to the nature of our camper population,Covid-19 vaccination including the recent booster is encouraged for your protection, but not required. Masking is optional, and welcome. 

    3. All Counselors/volunteers MUST receive the 2026/2027 Flu Vaccine prior to attending Camp Kidney. Please upload documentation below or email it directly to Ashleigh. 

    4. Any Camp Kidney participants experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms are encouraged to please refrain from attending Camp.

    5. Due to the nature of our campers and their health and saftey, please complete the below section regarding Intigrated Tuberculosis (TB).
