AHEAD of Los Angeles’ hosting of the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 13, the NFL is partnering with the county’s Department of Public Health to host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.

The clinic will be held from February 10-12 at the LA Convention Center, where the Super Bowl Experience is taking place.

Individuals who receive any dose at the vaccine at the on-site clinic will receive a free ticket to the Super Bowl Experience on the day they receive their dose or a future date.

“Our partnership with the NFL allows people to come together safely and experience the very best of American football. Straightforward public health measures including vaccinations, testing, masking and hand hygiene make it possible for so many to enjoy the Super Bowl Experience. We thank the NFL and all the fans for taking care of each other throughout the football season and look forward to welcoming everyone to an extraordinary Super Bowl in beautiful Los Angeles,” said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

The vaccination clinic is open on Thursday, Feb. 10 and Friday, Feb. 11 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12.

Appointments are encouraged to reduce wait times but not required. Fans can schedule a vaccine appointment on the MyTurn website.

Entry requirements for Super Bowl Experience presented by Lowe’s will follow current LA County Department of Public Health guidelines for entry into Indoor Mega Events. Fans will need to provide proof of full vaccination or proof of a recent negative test result. All fans 18 and older must also present a photo identification.

If fans arrive at Super Bowl Experience and are unable to meet pre-entry full vaccination requirements, the NFL has partnered with Medea Testing Solutions to provide COVID-19 rapid antigen testing with $0 out-of-pocket cost to fans.

Testing will take place in Gilbert Lindsay Plaza in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Appointments are encouraged as scheduling an appointment will reduce wait times but not required.

The LA Rams and Bengals will face off on Feb. 12 at Super Bowl LVI to be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. (AJPress)
