WHICH VACCINES VALGONO In addition to the 3 vaccines approved in the USA – Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson – all those who have received the green light from the WHO are accepted: AstraZeneca, Covaxin, Covishield, Sinopharm and Sinovac. Anyone who has received the single dose of a single-dose vaccine or the second dose of a cycle divided into two administrations is considered fully vaccinated at the time of departure of the flight. Heterologous vaccination is also accepted, with an interval of at least 17 days between the 2 doses. To enter the US you need a paper or digital certificate attesting to the vaccination. A copy or a photo is also valid, provided that the identity of the subject, the institution that administered the vaccine, the manufacturer of the vaccine and the dates of administration of the doses are clear. For those entering the US from Canada or Mexico by land, a negative swab is not required, minors under 18 enter if accompanied by an adult. Do minors need to be vaccinated? Children under 18 can enter the United States if they are over 2, traveling with a vaccinated adult, and tested negative for a swab within 72 hours prior to travel. If a child is traveling alone or with an unvaccinated adult (who may not have received the vaccine for health reasons) he will have to undergo a swab within 24 hours prior to the trip.
