The United States will ask travelers arriving in the country as of November 8 to be immunized against <\/span>COVID-19<\/span><\/a>, even when a mix of doses of different types of vaccines have been administered, provided that these have been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO).<\/span><\/p>\n

This was confirmed by the latest update of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, which further confirms that immunization tests will only be accepted with those types of vaccines that have been approved by the <\/span>WHO<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told the EFE agency this Saturday that people who have a combination of two (different) doses of a double dose vaccine that has been cleared by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) or is on the WHO emergency use list will be considered vaccinated with the complete scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n

The source added that although the CDC has not recommended mixing vaccine types in a primary series, it recognizes that this is increasingly common in other countries, therefore it should be accepted for the interpretation of vaccination tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

The White House announced this Friday that on November 8 it will open its air and land borders to international travelers vaccinated with the complete scheme against COVID-19, including those from those countries that have been subject to entry restrictions for more than a year, like Spain or Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest CDC update in this regard, published on its website late Friday, emphasizes that, for entering the United States, accepted vaccines will include those authorized or approved by the FDA or that are on the list of WHO emergency use.<\/span><\/p>\n
