“No Vaxx, No Service”: Is your vaccination card now the most valuable thing in your wallet?

JIMMIE JOHNSON: IT MAY SOON BE THE MOST VALUABLE THING IN YOUR WALLET.

NOT YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE. NOT YOUR VISA OR AMEX. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR VAXX CARD.

WITH THE DELTA VARIANT ON THE RISE, MORE CITIES AND BUSINESS OWNERS ARE SAYING, “NO VAXX, NO SERVICE.”

LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT. SO, HOW VALUABLE IS YOUR VAXX CARD? 

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE. IN THE NATION’S MOST POPULOUS CITY, THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED NYC PASS. THE COVID-ERA KEY TO THE CITY.

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO: ”If you’re vaccinated, all that’s going to open up to you. If you have the key, you can open the door. If you’re not vaccinated, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in many things. That’s the point we’re trying to get across.”

JIMMIE: IN NEW YORK, YOU MUST NOW HAVE AT LEAST ONE SHOT OF A VACCINE IN ORDER TO DINE AT ANY INDOOR RESTAURANT, WORKOUT AT A GYM, OR ATTEND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES.  

DC HAS ALSO STEPPED UP ITS VAXX CARD GAME, STRAIGHT ARROW’S POLITICAL PRODUCER ANNIE ANDERSON LIVES IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL: 

ANNIE ANDERSON: ”This is one of the restaurants requiring either a Vaccination card or a recent test to come inside. Now there is no policy for that here in the district, we’re seeing more and more restaurants and venues require it.”

JIMMIE: IN CALIFORNIA, SEVERAL BARS AND RESTAURANTS ARE SAYING “NO VAXX, NO SERVICE.” 

IN SAN FRANCISCO, THIS DELI IS EVEN OFFERING BROWNIES TO CUSTOMERS WHO SHOW THEIR VAXX CARDS. 

THIS DENVER RESTAURANT IS CATERING TO BOTH THE VAXXED AND UNVAXXED CLIENTELE.

IT’S OFFERING A VACCINATION ONLY NIGHT, ONE DAY A WEEK FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE HESITANT TO RETURN TO RESTAURANTS. 

IN CHICAGO. THIS WAS THE SCENE AT LOLLAPALOOZA, THE MEGA- OUTDOOR CONCERT  

EVENT ORGANIZERS MADE  CONCERT-GOERS SHOW THEIR VAXX CARDS. 

IF NOT, THEY NEEDED TO SHOW A NEGATIVE COVID-19 TEST TO ENTER.

THIS ALL RAISES THE QUESTION, WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE YOUR VAXX CARD?

MOST OF US HAVE THIS FLIMSY PIECE OF CARDBOARD FROM THE C-D-C.

THE EASIEST SOLUTION, GO BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU GOT YOUR VACCINE. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT.
