NEW YORK (77WABC) — Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Monday that kids aged 5 to 11 will now have to show proof that they’ve been1 vaccinated against COVID-19 if they want to go to indoor establishments like restaurants and theaters in New York City.

“Vaccination works and vaccine mandates work,” de Blasio said during his daily press briefing. “That’s the bottom line.”

 

De Blasio said he was taking the action amid the cases of the new Omicron variant. The city so far has only seen seven cases of it and the overall COVID-19 infection and hospitalization rates here are among the lowest in the nation.

Children ages 5 to 11 must show proof of one vaccination dose to eat out, see a show, go to a movie theater, visit a fitness facility, or attend indoor entertainment venues by Dec. 14.

Kids over age 12 must have two doses by Dec. 27 unless they received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
