The biden administration on Monday outlined new details of its plans to allow covid 19 vaccinated foreign nationals to travel to the united states again starting november 8, including details on which vaccines will be permitted and who will be exempted from requirements.
On monday , the administration released three documents specifically related to the forthcoming air travel requirements, including a proclamation establishing the requirements , US centers for disease control and prevention orders on vaccines, testing and contract tracing , and technical instructions for implementation.
“The guidance for land border travel is also expected soon and will likely mirror the rules for air travel. The administration defines “fully vaccinated” non-citizen , non immigrant air travelers as those who have received US approved or world health organization approved vaccines. Per the CDC , that includes “ vaccines currently approved or authorized for
emergency use by the U.S food and drug administration.” as well as “Covid 19 vaccines that have been listed for emergency use by the world health organization.”
