You need to be fully jabbed to Fly to USA from 8th November 2021
Starting from 8th November 2021, citizens who are fully vaccinated with WHO approved jabs and have a covid-19 negative (RT-PCR) report latest 72 hours of departure can travel to USA. The restrictions were imposed by USA Administration since 4th May when there was a 2nd deadly wave in India from March – Apr- May.
The WHO has approved seven vaccines:
Moderna’s m-RNA-1273,
Pfizer/BioNTech’s BNT162b2,
Johnson & Johnson’ Ad26.COV2.S,
Oxford/AstraZeneca’s AZD1222,
Serum Institute of India’s Covishield,
Sinopharm’s BBIBP-CorV (Vero Cells),
and Sinovac’s CoronaVac.
The CDC will also accept mixed –dose coronavirus vaccines from International travellers. Individuals who have any combination of two doses of an FDA approved/authorized or WHO emergency use listed COVID-19 two-dose series are considered fully vaccinated.
Indian citizens who have taken either Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin or Sputnik, will not be able to travel to the USA next month.
The Centre is hopeful that the WHO will soon give approval to India’s indigenous Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin. Recently, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Thursday expressed hope that the WHO will soon give approval to Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin. It is not the administrative or political process, rather it is a technical process of WHO. Technical Committee will evaluate the submissions made by Bharat Biotech which created Covaxin. I am sure the approval of Covaxin from WHO will come at the soonest possible.
