The Los Angeles Dodgers are offering sections within the stadium available only to those who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Sections 166LG and 168LG will be occupied by those who have received the full vaccination in addition to their children between the ages of 2 and 15, provided they produce a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the ballgame. Masks are still mandatory in the section, and the program will begin Saturday when the Dodgers face the San Diego Padres.

“Any person with a ticket for a fully vaccinated-only section who is 16 years of age or older and cannot provide the required verification of full vaccination, or between 2 and 15 years of age and cannot provide the required proof of a negative test within 72 hours of admission, will not be permitted to enter the stadium,” the Major League Baseball team wrote.
Social distancing is not required in the vaccinated section.
The San Francisco Giants adopted a similar seating arrangement where children younger than 16 will need to provide negative coronavirus tests to accompany their inoculated parents. Face coverings are required, but social distancing practices have been foregone in the section.
