Liberty Science Center Will Require Proof Of Vaccination

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Visitors age 12 and up will have to show proof of at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to enter the Liberty Science Center, starting on September 8.

The center announced the protocol on Wednesday. A valid photo ID and proof of vaccination will be required.

"As a science institution, we are committed to following public health guidance that strongly indicates vaccinations are the most effective way to protect ourselves and our community—especially those too young to be vaccinated—from the rampant spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19," the center wrote on its website.

The center will continue to require guests and staff to properly wear a face mask while on site. The center is home to a planetarium and several rotating interactive exhibits and shows. The center reopened last September. All staff at the Liberty Science Center are vaccinated.

Here is a list of accepted vaccination records:

• An original CDC vaccination card
• Personal digital COVID-19 vaccination record issued by New Jersey or your home state (download the Docket app, which accesses your vaccination record, from Google Play or the App Store)
• An official immunization record from outside the US
• Photo of your COVID-19 vaccination record that matches your ID
