As of November 8, foreign nationals will again be able to travel to the U.S. if they are fully vaccinated against coronavirus with internationally recognized preparations.
Vaccines that have received approval or emergency approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO) will be accepted, the White House announced today in Washington. This includes all vaccines approved in Austria.
Approved vaccines
Specifically, the preparations of Biontech and Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, Sinopharm and Sinovac are accepted. Travelers must prove their vaccination status to the respective airline before boarding a plane to the U.S., it said. A complete vaccination against coronavirus is a requirement, it said.
Only a few exceptions
Only a few exceptions to the vaccination requirement apply to international travelers, such as children and people who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons. U.S. citizens are exempt from the vaccination requirements for entry anyway.
Travelers generally must provide a negative coronavirus test no more than three days old in addition to proof of vaccination, according to the U.S. government. For the unvaccinated who fall under the allowable exemptions, the test must be no more than one day old. Airlines also must keep contact information for passengers so they can be notified after any cases of illness, the statement added.
