Key to NYC Pass - Tips for Businesses: 8/23/21

Vaccination Proof for Indoor Activities (Key to NYC)

As of August 17th, people 12 years and older are required to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use by the FDA or WHO for:

indoor dining
indoor fitness
indoor entertainment

Find out if your business is included in the image below.

For businesses covered by this requirement:

Place the Vaccination Required Poster for Businesses (PDF) in a place that is clearly visible to people before they enter your business. If your business does not have access to a printer please contact us and we will have one dropped off.

Develop a written implementation plan that will be available for inspection. This should include how you will check the vaccination status of staff and customers before they enter — or immediately after they enter — your business.

The City developed a template implementation plan, or a business may create their own:

Help your staff get vaccinated: Consider hanging posters about the COVID-19 vaccines in break rooms and provide information about where to get vaccinated.
