People who get their COVID-19 vaccine shot at the Los Angeles Convention Center during the Super Bowl Experience may receive tickets to the football theme park for free.

The National Football League (NFL) is hosting a vaccination clinic at the Los Angeles Convention Center’s South Hall. People who receive their first, second or booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine at the site will be offered free tickets to the Super Bowl Experience, which is open to the public from Thursday to Saturday.

The tickets would give fans an opportunity to get autographs from their favorite players, take photos with the Vince Lombardi Trophy and participate in interactive NFL games.

Those hoping to get their COVID-19 vaccine shots for free and receive tickets to the Super Bowl Experience can visit the Los Angeles Convention Center on Feb. 10 and 11 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Feb. 12 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m, according to the NFL.

To enter the Super Bowl Experience, guests aged 2 and older must provide proof of vaccination. Unvaccinated attendees must provide a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours of entry or a negative antigen test within 24 hours of entry. Additionally, guests aged 18 and older are required to bring a government-issued ID as verification.

A person who has proof of a previous COVID-19 infection will still be required to present either proof of vaccination or a negative test result. On-site testing is available for $0 out-of-pocket cost in front of the Gilbert Lindsey Plaza.

All guests, unvaccinated or vaccinated, hoping to enter the Super Bowl Experience are required to wear face masks at all times, except when actively eating or drinking.

The NFL’s vaccination drive comes as the United States records a disappointing turnout for COVID-19 vaccine shots. As of Monday, only 64.1% of the country’s population has been fully vaccinated against the virus. Among those eligible to receive the booster dose, only 42.3% have received their third vaccine shot. Only 75.7% of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. currently lags behind countries like Denmark, the United Kingdom and Germany in vaccination rates.
