Attendees of the 2021 American Music Awards must be fully vaccinated (i.e. two weeks or more have passed since the attendee has received a single-dose vaccine or the second dose in a two-dose series).  All attendees must wear a face covering while in attendance.

Proof of Full Vaccination

Proof of vaccination, regardless of age and the availability of vaccinations for any particular age group, showing that the attendee has received, more than two weeks prior to the event, either: (i) the second dose of a two-dose vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca-Oxford (e.g., Covishield, Vaxzevria), Sinopharm, or Sinovac) or (ii) a dose of the single-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson/Janssen). The following are acceptable forms of proof of full vaccination: attendee’s physical COVID-19 vaccination record (i.e. CDC-provided white vaccination card or WHO-provided yellow vaccination card); OR a photo of attendee’s vaccination card as a separate document; OR a photo of attendee’s vaccine card stored on attendee’s mobile device or electronic device; OR documentation of the attendee’s full vaccination status against COVID-19 from a healthcare provider (on a mobile app, paper document, digital wallet card). 

Vaccination records must clearly show the name of the vaccinated attendee, type of COVID-19 vaccine administered, and date(s) of each dose administered.  Proof of identity (driver license, state issued ID, passport) that matches the vaccination record is required for verification & will be checked before entry is allowed.

Face Coverings Required

All guests are required to wear a face covering that covers both the nose and mouth at all times, unless actively eating or drinking. Gaiters, bandanas, and coverings with exhalation vents are prohibited: a face shield still requires a face covering. For the safety of everyone, guests unable to wear proper face coverings will not be admitted into the venue.

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed
