The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States confirmed that that country will accept the entry of visitors that they have the complete schedule of vaccines against the coronavirus as long as they are authorized by US regulators or the World Health Organization (WHO).
Although last September 20 the US government had announced that it would lift restrictions on travelers from 33 countries that they had the complete vaccine schedule, had not confirmed which pharmaceuticals would be accepted.

According to the agency Reuters, CDC sources confirmed last Friday that There would be six authorized vaccines that would be on the WHO emergency use list.
CDC is yet to notify the details of the decision to the main airlines of the country, who were pleased with the news.
Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had already approved the vaccines of the main US pharmaceutical companies, several countries were pressuring the Biden government to extend the list, since other brands had also been widely applied around the world.
According to the site aviacionline.com, “taking into account the vaccines approved by the FDA”, the pharmaceutical companies would be:
- Pfizer
- Modern
- Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
- AstraZeneca
- Sinopharm
- Sinovac
“WHO is expected to approve the Sputnik V vaccine, from the Gamaleya National Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology to be approved very soon, since the same WHO authorities reported a few days ago that the evaluation was ‘ready’ and that ‘paperwork’ had to be completed ”, says the site.
There are still some doubts that the US government must refine, as in the case of children who are not yet vaccinated or are not eligible for it, and those who have recently contracted the coronavirus and are not eligible for the vaccine.
