NYC to require proof of vaccination

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new proof of vaccination requirement for most indoor events in New York City.
Some examples are dining at restaurants, hitting the gym, or attending a movie or play will require proof of vaccination beginning on August 16th.
The City will begin enforcing the program on September 13, the mayor said.

"So today I announce a new approach, which we are calling the "Key to NYC Pass," when you hear those words, I want you to imagine the notion that because someone is vaccinated they can do all the amazing things available in New York City. This is a miraculous place literally full of wonders, if you are vaccinated all that is going to open to you, you have the key, you can open the door. If you are unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things. That's the point we are trying to get across," de Blasio said.

The requirement will apply to both workers and customers. It will not apply to outdoor dining.
De Blasio said that the new city's $100 vaccine incentive has led to thousands of people taking advantage in the recent days.
It remains unclear, what the policy will be for those who can't be vaccinated, either for medical or religious reasons, or for those under the age of 12 who are not yet eligible.
About 40% of the city's total population remains unvaccinated.
