COVID vaccination document not required to visit US anymore

COVID vaccination documentation is no longer necessary in order to enter the United States. The COVID vaccination requirement for international travelers will be lifted on May 11, according to the White House announcement.

Vaccination requirements for US federal government employees and contractors will also expire on the same day, the White House said.

In addition, on the same day (May 11), the public health emergency related to COVID in the United States will also end.

The statement also said that the central government has taken this decision mainly because of the decrease in the number of COVID infections and deaths in the United States.

When the deadly coronavirus spread around the world in late 2019, the United States imposed several strict restrictions. One of which was that if a foreign national is to enter the United States by air, he must get the COVID vaccination and show proof of it.
