Ability to attend games in-person next season

Places I'm looking at in NYC are asking for just a picture of it and a photo ID.  Makes a ton of sense.

That's good news. I'm going to NYC next weekend for the Dead and Company concert and although it hasn't been announced I'm fully expecting proof of vaccine. Which is totally cool with me

[TSmith34, Inc.]

My question/thought is do you think it could get to the point where they mark something on your drivers license like being an organ donor or something?

Many different companies working on a VaxPass that is loaded to your phone, pulling the data directly from the state health databases. https://www.clearme.com/vaccine-validation

They can see it in the WI vaccine database, or whatever it's call.  No?

I wonder, because I got my second dose in February but I've been getting texts from the Milwaukee Health Department asking if I want to make an appointment. If it's in the database, shouldn't they know not to text me?

They are allowing that at Summerfest as well.

i sure would want to do so.  I know England ran some experiments (out of necessity?) using a second dose of various vaccines that differed from the first dose. You could probably look those up.  I also know of one doctor that had the J&J and subsequently got two doses of Pfizer. But probably not allowed for us mortals, unless you know a doctor.

Friends of my wife and I in Canada got a first dose of AZ and a second dose of Pfizer.  Our understanding was it was based on vaccine availability.  Things are obviously different in the USA.

I thought the J&J is still showing to be effective?

During my recent trip to Seattle, I went to a Sounders game. Was able to show pic of vax card on cellphone. Super easy.

Probably in the data base wrong.  I had to go back to Walgreen's because they were robocalling me to come in for my second dose after I got my second dose... they put my second dose under someone else's name/file.

To answer the above, yes the J&J is still a good vaccine and provides protection.  Just not as effective as the mRNA vaccines, is my understanding. 

San Fran allowing second dose if got J&J:

J&J recipients can make a special request to get a "supplemental dose" of an mRNA vaccine, city health officials said in a statement to CNBC, declining to call the second shots "boosters."

I had the J&J in April and ended up sitting across the table from a guy a month later for an hour long lunch meeting that lied about being vaccinated and was hospitalized with COVID pneumonia 2 days later.  No symptoms and a negative test 5 days after exposure for me.  That said, a doctor friend of mine was telling me to go get a booster of one of the mRNA vaccines to ensure effectiveness.

Yes, of course, people can go out of their way to break the rules. I mean, teens have been using fake IDs to buy booze since booze and IDs were invented. People lie about being seniors for discounts. Many athletes and coaches cheat. Etc, etc, etc. You can't avoid making rules or setting standards just because somebody might cheat.

There were a few polls done by local TV stations today about the Summerfest decision and about 65% said they were less likely to attend.

Thank goodness.  It'll make it much more enjoyable

How many of those do you think were attending anyway?

Good. I get to sit closer then. Shorter beer lines. If they wanna cry and not go then fine.

Everyone is bichin about "my freedoms". Here is your freedom of choice! You have a choice! Get the vaccine Or don't and get swabbed!

Choices are as free as you can get. Cause some other countries you don't get choices.

I'd check Stub Hub for any Summerfest concerts you might want to attend. I assume everyone who doesn't want to get vaccinated will be dumping their tickets Especially for the hip hop and country music acts.

Hope MU does this...best way to ensure I don't have to sit next to an a-hole.

Hot damn. Good call

Edit: holy crap. Prices for the green day concert are down $35 a ticket! Amazing.

Edit edit: looks like I'll also be going to Luke Bryan for $30 cheaper than I thought also. 

I'm officially rooting for this to be in every sport. Y'all wanna stay unvaxxed. That's cool. I'll take you ur packer/bucks/MUBB tickets for $20 under face value. Silly gooses.

[The Sultan]

Selling tickets for less than we paid for them to own the libs.

[Warrior of Law]

I'd rather prove vaccination status than go through the motions of wearing a mask when inside the arena.

[4everwarriors]

Ur still gonna hafta due dat, hey?

[WarriorFan]

Just sharing a few recent experiences:
Moscow (Russia) - Vaccines are done through government agencies and recorded in a central database.  When your vaccine is properly recorded, you get a QR code that identifies you as vaccinated.  The QR code is required for entry to any event, restaurant, indoor shopping mall.

Dayton (ohio) - TBT finals.  No seating restrictions, no masks required, no vaccine tracking, no negative proof required... just like normal. 

Walgreens - issues a handwritten 'CDC' card as proof of vaccine.  How easy would that be to fake?

I got Sputnik V in Russia and then during recent USA visit got re-vaccinated with Pfizer.  I know too many people vaccinated with Sputnik that got the virus afterwards.

Barclay's Center has announced that all employees and guests (12 and up) must be fully vaccinated starting September 12th
