Very possible Sinovac ban

[tahm 19]

Hello everyone it’s all over the news not too long ago (about 3 hours) that a CDC representative said that 6 vaccines approved by WHO/FDA will make to the list of approved covid vaccines. Well WHO approved 7 vaccines so that means one is out of the list. 

“A CDC spokeswoman told Reuters Friday, "Six vaccines that are FDA authorized/approved or listed for emergency use by WHO will meet the criteria for travel to the U.S." 

So I think it’s quite safe to assume Sinovac won’t be accepted because its efficacy (50%). I took the Sinovac vaccine and I probably won’t be able to go before the restrictions start. If the possibility of taking another one in my country is low (they refuse to give another one for people who are fully vaccinated already, which is my case with Sinovac). Is there anything else I can do to be able to travel?

You should fly ASAP to the US before "early November."

 

Otherwise, you should probably wait until the official order by CDC is released in full for clarity. But worst case scenario you would have fly to Mexico and then enter via a land POE. The CDC restriction that is being developed is for US-bound flights.
