LOS ANGELES—Angelenos patronizing indoor restaurants, gyms, entertainment and recreational facilities, personal care establishments, and some city buildings will technically need to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 starting Nov. 8—although enforcement of the new law won’t begin until Nov. 29.
The city’s SafePassLA ordinance is one of the strictest mandates of its kind in the nation, and includes all individuals eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. Accepted forms of proof of vaccination include:
- a vaccination card issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or similar documentation issued by another foreign governmental agency;
- a photocopy of a vaccination card or a photograph stored on a phone or electronic device;
- a personal digital COVID-19 vaccination record issued by the state of California or similar documentation issued by another state, local or foreign government jurisdiction, or by a private company; and
- documentation of a COVID-19 vaccination from a health care provider.
