NEW YORK – Parents of vaccinated and unvaccinated children were caught off guard when their family went to see a Broadway show on Tuesday, when New York City’s latest child vaccination requirement went into effect.

Wearing a red hat and waiting in line for “Aladdin the Musical,” Theresa Amin was among the parents who were told their children couldn’t go in because they weren’t vaccinated.

“I took him to see ‘The Lion King’ in the past, but apparently as of today, that has changed. I’m going to go ahead and deliver, but I’m not happy about it,” Amin told our sister station NBC.

Your child and theater goers ages 5-11 must show proof of at least one dose of vaccination to attend Broadway shows.

They must also show their identification along with their ticket. Amin was instructed to go down the block from the New Amsterdam Theater to give his young son a rapid COVID-19 test to come back negative before the show began.

Under Broadway’s update of its vaccination policy, vaccinated children must be accompanied by an adult who is fully vaccinated, which means that their last injection of the vaccine series must be at least 14 days before presentation.

But another father whose daughter is vaccinated also had a problem because she was not vaccinated 14 days before the performance, which meant that the vaccine had not had time to fully work.

Cherie Roe said workers told her her daughter had to be vaccinated 14 days before the show. She stormed off, adding that the mayor “just served his term.”

It was unclear how old Roe’s daughter was. The two-dose requirement is only for children 12 and older and is supposed to go into effect on the same day as the mayor’s private sector vaccination mandate, December 27. The December 14 deadline had been set for 5-year-olds only. at 11 o’clock to show proof of at least one dose.
