The plan to reopen the US borders on 8 November requires all passengers to be fully vaccinated against Covid. Arrivals will also need to show proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of departure.
The Biden administration confirmed on Monday (25 October) that those under the age of 18 would be exempt from the vaccine requirements, in addition to people with some medical issues.
The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had previously confirmed the country would accept vaccines recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO).
