BUFFALO, N.Y. — Another local venue will be requiring children to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter.
The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra announced on Monday that children over the age of 5 will need to show proof of vaccination to attend performances at Kleinhans Music Hall. This requirement will go into effect on Monday, Jan. 24.
Children 5-12 will need to show proof of vaccination and be accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult with a valid ID. Children 13 and older are required to show proof of vaccination and provide an ID.
At the time, children 2 and younger are not allowed to attend performances. However, children 3-4 years old may attend if masked and accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult with proof of ID.
