Have your Vaccine records ready smh.
Raul_S, Mar 2022
Bought tickets while visiting LA, when we arrived we were told we could not enter without a Vaccination card & Drivers license. Would not come back I’m sure it’s a beautiful place but this city is being run to the ground with these requirements. Can’t even grab something to eat because every restaurant requires you to carry your vaccination records.
amazing
