The Biden administration in the United States has announced that it will begin measures to require foreigners entering the country to complete vaccination against the new coronavirus on the 8th of next month.
The White House in the United States announced on the 15th that it will require foreigners to finish vaccination from the 8th of next month as a new measure when entering the country.
According to senior White House officials, this applies not only to flights from Japan, but also to Canada and Mexico by land or ferry.
Of these, if you are entering the country by air, you must submit documents certifying that you have been vaccinated before boarding, and be tested within 3 days of departure to prove negative.
In addition, the US CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added the target vaccines to the list of emergency use by WHO, including the vaccine of AstraZeneca, which is not approved in the United States.
On the other hand, it will be announced by the 8th of next month what kind of people will be excluded, such as children who cannot be vaccinated.
Until now, when traveling from Japan to the United States, you could enter the country if the test proved negative, but the new policy will make the conditions for entry stricter.
