+US and Covid

The current rules, which requires international visitors to the US to be fully vaccinated against the virus, has now been extended to 10 April by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

The rules were first put in place in October 2021 as the US prepared to reopen its borders to international travellers in November 2021 after being closed for 20 months due to the pandemic.

The requirements apply to any non-US citizen who will still need to provide proof of receiving at least two Covid vaccine doses or an acceptable single-dose vaccine such as the Johnson & Johnson jab.

Foreign airlines are also required not to allow any non-US travellers who do not fulfil these vaccination rules to board their flights to the US.

What a ridiculous rule to still have in place, and I am vaccinated but this is stopping people I know from visiting us.
