With the event heading our way faster than a conveyex on an icy Vandor track, ReedPop lay out the requirements for visitors to the reduced capacity 2021 running of New York Comic Con. If you’re attending, be sure to closely check what NYCC are asking of you.

Verification of Vaccination for Ages 12+
At this time, we anticipate that everyone entering the Javits Center over the age of 12 will need to be fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved or authorized by the FDA or WHO against COVID-19 in order to attend and participate at NYCC and must show proof of vaccination at their time of entry.

Details regarding full vaccination status and our verification process will be provided over the next two weeks. We expect to accept proof of vaccination of any vaccine approved or authorized by the World Health Organization or the FDA and that guests will be permitted to display proof on a smartphone or present a physical copy of their vaccination card along with a government issued ID reflecting the name on the documentation. New York State residents or anyone who received a COVID-19 vaccine in New York State may present proof through the use of the Excelsior Pass (for more details, visit: https://epass.ny.gov).

Please note that all restrictions and requirements are subject to change. Please refer to our website often for current guidelines.

Proof of Negative COVID-19 Test for Those Under Age 12
NYCC attendees younger than 12 must be accompanied by a fully vaccinated Guardian and provide proof of at one of the following, in addition to properly wearing a face covering at all times while inside the building except while seated when eating or drinking:

negative rapid antigen COVID-19 test taken within 6 hours of entry to each day of the event, or
negative lab PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of entry of each day of the event.
Please note that all restrictions and requirements are subject to change. Please refer to our website often for current guidelines.
