Starting today in Boston: Ages 12 and up must show proof of full vaccination to enter indoor spaces

Today begins the next phase of Boston’s “B Together” COVID-19 policy. Now, anyone age 12 and up must show proof of full vaccination to enter indoor spaces in the city, including restaurants, entertainment venues, and indoor fitness facilities. Employees working in these places must also be vaccinated. The requirement does NOT include booster shots. Mayor Wu says the requirements will go away when:
- Fewer than 95% of ICU beds are occupied
- Fewer than 200 COVID-19 hospitalizations per day
- A community positivity rate below 5%, as defined by the Boston Public Health Commission’s 7-day moving average
As for the city’s mask mandate, there are NO plans to lift that as of yet.
