Springsteen on Broadway, no entry for those vaccinated with AstraZeneca

Vaccinated with AstraZeneca? No Bruce Springsteen show. In what may be an omen for Broadway’s post-Covid protocol, Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Springsteen on Broadway’ announced that viewers will need to be vaccinated with an FDA-cleared vaccine to enter: Modern and Johnson & Johnson, therefore, but not AstraZeneca. Deadline Hollywood reports it. A policy destined to cause discussion, which will undoubtedly prove disappointing for the many Canadians and Europeans who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine. Producers of ‘Springsteen on Broadway’ announced Tuesday night that the show, which will debut on June 26 to become the first to reopen on Broadway after closing, will require FDA-cleared vaccines.
