Starting today, everyone 12+ must be fully vaccinated to enter certain Boston businesses

If you plan on visiting Boston, you will have to be vaccinated to get into many indoor establishments.

Last month, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced that starting on January 15, 2022, individuals would be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to enter certain indoor spaces in Boston.

People will be required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to enter certain indoor spaces in Boston that offer:

-Indoor dining, including bars and nightclubs
-Indoor fitness
-Indoor entertainment

Employees working in those spaces are also required to be vaccinated. Covered businesses are responsible for checking proof of vaccination and posting a notice about the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.

To enter one of the establishments listed above, you will need to show that you are vaccinated against COVID-19. That verification can be done with:

-a CDC vaccination card
-a digital image of your CDC card
-an image of any official immunization record, or
-a City of Boston app or any other COVID vaccine verification app.
