“Six vaccines that are authorized by the FDA or listed for emergency use by WHO meet the criteria for traveling to the United States,” explained the official in contact with Reuters, whose name she preferred not to disclose.
So far, the international body has approved the drugs developed by Moderna, Pfizer, Janssen, Oxford/Astrazeneca, Sinopharm y Sinovac.
In this way, those who received both doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, which is applied in more than seventy countries, including Argentina, will be excluded.
The CDC said that next week they will begin working with airlines to “prepare systems” with accepted vaccines and “will release additional guidance and information as travel requirements are finalized.”
The news was very well received by Airlines for America, a commercial conglomerate made up of American Airlines Co, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and others.
“We are pleased with the CDC’s decision to approve a list of licensed vaccines for travelers entering the United States. We look forward to working with the administration to implement this new global testing and vaccination framework in early November 2021.” the company said.
The CDC will also announce exceptions in the next few days for children who have not yet received their doses because some are not approved for this group.
Additionally, it will decide whether to admit visitors for Covid-19 clinical trials or those who recently contracted the respiratory disease and are not yet eligible for vaccination.
