Would that be legal? How would you prove that, especially at the point of sale?

I was told a few months ago that some theaters in Europe are requiring that all ticket holders for a given show must be tested for Covid on the day of a performance. The result is then sent to their smart phones. A negative result is needed for admittance to the show that evening.

I was thinking more about the vaccine. Will private companies be able to require proof of the vaccine for sale of goods?

I would think requiring proof of vaccination will be a requirement. It's the same principle as requiring masks. Theaters are private companies. I can't see why it would not be legal. Of course, red states like Florida, the Dakotas, and others won't do it for the theaters in their states, but that's their choice. Even with the availabilty of vaccines, it may take years (if ever) to convince 90% of the population to be vaccinated, which is what is needed to create herd immunity. I can't imagine Cuomo allowing Broadway to open unless it's absolutely safe.

We'll see. Proof of vaccine would be revealing personal medical information, unlike masks.

And I realize schools require vaccinations, but I think that's by legislation. Will states be enacting laws about vaccines for people wanting to go to a theatre? Can this be done by mandate?

(And for the record, I'll be first in line when my number comes up to get a vaccine, and I would have no problem showing my sticker, membership card, or whatever to prove I got it - though Broadway isn't the first place I'm going.)

In 1954 when I was vaccinated for polio, I think I was given a chain which I wore around my neck. It certified that I had been vaccinated. I attended Catholic grade school and went to a Catholic church, and I certainly wouldn't have been allowed in either without my chain.

I may be mistaken and I don't recall exactly how it was enforced (I was only 6), but I remember when my friends and I went to Riverview amusement park and Comiskey Park (both in Chicago), our parents made us wear our polio chains.

Mandatory vaccinations must be approved through legislation. Outside of that, businesses cannot impose vaccination requirements on customers or employees.

The laws vary by state. There are definitely states that mandate vaccinations for school children and also allow businesses to require their employees be vaccinated against certain diseases.
