New York City’s Vaccine Passport: Here’s What You’ll Need To Visit
#1

On Monday, New York City will be one of the first major U.S. cities to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for numerous indoor activities.

Called the “Key to NYC Pass,” the policy requires patrons of bars and restaurants, indoor fitness facilities, and indoor entertainment and performance venues — and employees at those places — to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination. After a transition period, inspections and enforcement will begin September 13 — when the city’s public schools reopen for the fall and more workers are expected to return to offices in Manhattan, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced.

“If you want to participate in our society fully, you’ve got to get vaccinated,” de Blasio said prior to the official move. “… If you’re unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things.”

Realizing that there may be some resistance to the mandate, de Blasio went on to say “Not everyone is going to agree with this, but for so many people, this is going to be a lifesaving act — that we are putting a mandate in place that is going to guarantee a much higher level of vaccination in this city,” The New York Times reports. “This will be the key to protecting people, and the key to our recovery.”

How The Plan Will Work
Beginning August 16, everyone at bars and restaurants, indoor fitness facilities, and indoor entertainment and performance venues will need to provide proof of vaccination.
One type of proof of vaccination is to use the State of New York’s Excelsior Pass, an app only for people who received their COVID-19 vaccine in the State of New York. Another option is to use the NYC COVID Safe app, which allows anyone — regardless of where they were vaccinated — to upload their vaccine card. Use of either app means you won’t need to carry your CDC vaccination card around.
There are two other options as well. First, of course, anyone — regardless of where they live or where they were vaccinated — can simply present the CDC vaccination card they received from their vaccination provider.
