Boston’s vaccine mandate begins tomorrow

January 14, 2022

Hello Monday.

January 24 2022

 

Breaking down B Together

B Together, Boston’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for certain indoor spaces, begins tomorrow for residents 12 and older. We’re breaking down what this means + how you can be prepared for when you’re out and about in the city.

 

Where is proof of vaccination required?

  • Restaurants, bars, and nightclubs
  • Gyms and indoor fitness settings
  • Indoor entertainment venues (think: movie theatres, concert halls, and museums)

If you’re heading to a local bar to view the Bruins or Celtics games tomorrow, don’t forget your vaccine proof.

How can I show proof of vaccination?

 

The City will be introducing a B Together smartphone app tomorrow, available on the Apple and Google app stores, which will allow users to quickly display a photo of their vaccine card.

 

Boston residents can also use My Vax Records, Massachusetts’ online vaccine certificate. The site allows visitors to find their official vaccination record in the state’s public health database, then download the file as an image or add the information to their Apple Wallet.

There are other options for showing proof of vaccine, including:

  • Physical CDC vaccination card
  • An image of the card, digital or printed out
  • Other apps — the Clear Health Pass, Common Pass, Key to NYC, VaxYes, IATA Travel Pass + Excelsior Pass

How can I get a COVID-19 vaccine?

  • Use VaxFinder to browse available vaccine appointments 
  • Head to an upcoming mobile pop-up clinic

Note that the city’s mask mandate isn’t changing — Bostonians are still required to wear a mask in indoor public settings, regardless of vaccination status.

THE WRAP

Editor’s Pick: Researchers analyzed Internet search data to see which phrases were the most searched across the country this year. Spoiler — Massachusetts’ phrase had nothing to do with iced coffee or the Red Sox. Bay State residents typed “Should I buy a car?” into their search engines more than any other phrase in 2021. 🚙
