• “Fully vaccinated” means 14 days past an individual's last
vaccination dose in their initial vaccine series (14 days past
the second shot of a two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna
vaccine; 14 days past the one-shot Janssen/Johnson &
Johnson vaccine). The State also accepts WHO-approved
vaccines for these purposes. Please refer to the State’s
Frequently Asked Questions and posters for businesses
for
more information.
Businesses and venues may opt to require both masking and proof of
vaccination.
NYC Department of Health Commissioner Chokshi
issued an advisory to strongly encourage all individuals, regardless
of vaccination status, to wear a mask when indoors and in a public
setting in New York City. The advisory applies to individuals over the
age of two years who are able to medically tolerate wearing a mask.
The advisory does not apply in cases where an individual is
actively performing an activity that cannot be done while
wearing a face covering such as actively eating or drinking or
performing, including playing music, delivering a speech, and
acting in a theater.
Reminder: Masks are
required on public transit and at indoor train
stations, regardless of vaccination status. And New York State
mandates universal mask requirements at NYS-regulated child care
facilities, residential congregate programs, and certain other NYS-
licensed or NYS-regulated facilities.
Q4: Does the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment have
any special rules about masks/face coverings with respect to
film permits?
A: No. Follow the State rules.
