*As stated on the CDC website: “Fully vaccinated means you have completed your “primary series” and either that 14 days have passed since receiving the second dose of an FDA or WHO authorized double-dose vaccine or that 14 days have passed since receiving the sole dose of an FDA or WHO authorized single-dose vaccine…If you have completed your “primary series”, but are not yet eligible for a booster, are also considered “up to date”. A “primary series” is the initial dose(s) of a COVID-19 vaccine — for Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines, the primary series is 2 vaccine doses. For the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine, the primary series is a single vaccine dose…You are “up to date” with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine “primary series” AND received the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC. The updated (bivalent) boosters are called “bivalent” because they protect against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the Omicron variant BA.4 and BA.5.”
*As of June 2020, Nested LLC updated these Terms of Service and Conditions to include new health and safety COVID-19 protocols for all in-person classes, which were updated again in June 2021, September 2021, December 2022 & July 2023.
