Are children under age 5 counted in the 95% vaccination requirement?

Facilities and events may permit children not yet eligible for the vaccine (currently, those under 5) indoors. The facility or event must still meet the requirement that 95% of attendees or individuals within the space have provided proof of vaccination. The facility or event must include the children in the calculation of the 95%. In other words, until a vaccine is approved for those under age 5, facilities must count children under 5 towards the up to 5% of unvaccinated individuals permitted pursuant to the program requirements. However, individuals not eligible for the vaccine and other exempt individuals may be required to wear a mask.
