Vaccinated Individuals Allowed Entry into the U.S. as Country Plans to Ease Restrictions

The United States announced last week that it will soon open its doors to foreign travelers vaccinated against the coronavirus, easing restrictions for the first time since the pandemic began. This was reported by The Washington Post.

However, the new rules, which will take effect in November, do not apply to those vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, which has not been approved by the WHO.

The new U.S. plan requires that non-citizens wishing to enter the country be vaccinated with vaccines approved by the FDA and recognized by the WHO. Mentioned in the article are the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, as well as those developed by Chinese companies Sinopharm and Sinovac. However, it is also clearly stated that individuals vaccinated with any vaccines fully approved by the WHO may enter the country.
