     It should be pointed out that the United States has not previously recognized all emergency-use vaccines approved by the World Health Organization, such as AstraZeneca vaccine, Kexing vaccine, and Sinopharm vaccine


     On September 20, White House Coordinator of Outbreak Response Jeffrey D.


     Zinz said that unvaccinated Americans can also return from overseas, but they must pass stricter testing requirements, that is, they must be tested the day before travel and the day after arriving in the United States


    He added that this change only applies to air travel and will not affect land border restrictions


    "International travel is essential to contact family and friends, promote the development of large and small businesses, and promote open exchanges of ideas and culture


    As for what is "full vaccination", the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has given new standards


    US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spokesperson Thomas Skinner said in a statement that all people who have received an emergency vaccine certified by the World Health Organization will be considered "fully vaccinated" and allowed to enter the United States


     Currently, the vaccines that have been included in the WHO emergency use list include:

    • Pfizer/Biotech Vaccine

    • AstraZeneca-SK biological vaccine

    • Institute of Vaccine Serology of India

    • AstraZeneca (EU) vaccine

    • Johnson & Johnson Vaccine

    • Moderna vaccine

    • China Kexing Vaccine

    • Sinopharm Vaccines

    According to the previous regulations of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only those who have been vaccinated with Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are considered to be "fully vaccinated


     

    In addition, the CDC will issue an order requiring American Airlines to collect the telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of passengers in order to establish a new "contact tracking system


    Relevant departments will follow up passengers after they arrive and ask if they have symptoms of infection


     

    In January last year, in order to control the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the government imposed restrictions on foreign tourists


    So far, the ban has been implemented for 18 months, and tourists from 33 countries including EU member states, China and India have been barred from entry by the United States


     

    However, according to the New York Times, due to loopholes in security measures, the United States did not rely on the travel ban to achieve epidemic prevention success


     

    According to the American Travel Association (American Travel Association), the industry lost $500 billion in 2020


     

    The New York Times quoted a senior US State Department official as saying that US Secretary of State Brinken discussed with the French ambassador last Friday about nuclear submarines and the US travel ban


     

    On September 20, British Prime Minister Johnson stated on Twitter that he was "happy" with the relaxation of the travel ban in the United States
    .
    He wrote: "This is an excellent driving force for commerce and trade.
    It is great that family and friends on both sides of the strait can reunite again
