New Jersey’s premiere science museum is following the science.
Liberty Science Center announced Wednesday that it will require proof of at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine for all visitors ages 12 and up starting Sept. 8. The 300,000-square-foot Jersey City museum, which is home to the country’s largest planetarium and countless interactive exhibits, will continue to require masks be worn inside the center.
“As a science institution, we are committed to following public health guidance that strongly indicates vaccinations and face masks 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,” Liberty Science Center President and CEO Paul Hoffman said in a press release. “We thank all our guests in advance for their cooperation and support of Liberty Science Center’s efforts to protect our community against COVID-19.”
Liberty Science Center will accept an original CDC vaccination card (or a photo of one), a personalized digital COVID-19 vaccination record or an official immunization record from outside the United States as proof of vaccination. No self-written or verbal declarations of vaccination will be accepted.
The entire staff of Liberty Science Center is vaccinated, and the mask policy has been in place since the museum reopened last September. Hoffman calls the vaccine policy a “natural extension of our unwavering commitment to the safety, health and well-being of each and every person who comes into our doors to enjoy all the Center has to offer.”
Liberty Science Center joins a growing list of places in New Jersey that are requiring proof of vaccination as the delta variant fuels a spike in COVID-19 cases.
