The United States will accept, by international visitors, the use of COVID-19 vaccines authorised by US regulators or the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said late Friday.
On Sept. 20, the White House announced the United States in November would lift travel restrictions on air travellers from 33 countries including China, India, Brazil and most of Europe who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. It did not specify then which vaccines would be accepted.
A CDC spokeswoman told Reuters Friday, “Six vaccines that are FDA authorised/approved or listed for emergency use by WHO will meet the criteria for travel to the US.”
