So far more than 125,000 kids ages 5 to 11 in New York City have received at least one dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine.
When kids 5 to 11 arrive at a movie theatre, after-school sports leagues or an indoor restaurant in New York City, they’ll have to show proof that they’ve received at least one dose of Pfizer-BioNTech’s PFE, -5.14% BNTX, -18.67% COVID-19 starting Dec. 14, the city’s Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Monday.
On Monday, de Blasio also announced the first city-wide vaccine mandate for all private employers, which will take effect on Dec. 22. Samantha Levin, a New York City mother of a six-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, told MarketWatch on Nov.8 that getting her children vaccinated “means freedom.”
Immediately after CDC gave its official stamp of approval for kids to start getting vaccinated against COVID-19 on Nov. 2, San Francisco health officials announced that 5 to 11-year-olds would soon be required to show proof of vaccination for indoor activities.
