We already know that people vaccinated with FDA-recognized products (Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson) and those recognized by the WHO (such as AstraZeneca) will be accepted in the United States. It has not yet been said whether there will be people with “mixed” doses of the vaccine, except this Friday morning by Bloomberg, which assured that people with mixed doses will be accepted.
CNN confirms Reuters information: “essential travelers” (carriers, etc.) may continue to be vaccinated until January 2022, but since then all foreign travelers must be vaccinated.
The borders will therefore reopen after 19 months of closure. At present, these are the borders originally closed by President Trump, at the time heavily criticized by who was his competitor in the presidential election. Just before leaving the White House last January, Donald Trump announced the reopening of the border, but Joe Biden prevented his application. Since then, there has been great silence on the issue, while the media has feared the foundations of the closure, as have some international leaders who have told the White House.
This delay was probably due to the Delta option, but also to the possible use of a travel protocol to ensure “traceability” of passengers.
