Believe it or not the US has issued this starting Jan. 5. Exactly how it works I have NO IDEA. Read for yourself........This was updated on Dec. 31,2022..........

What You Need to Know
  • If you are a non-U.S. citizen who is a nonimmigrant (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa), you will need to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before you travel by air to the United States from a foreign country.
  • Some categories of noncitizen, nonimmigrants are excepted from this requirement. If you meet the criteria for one of these categories, you will need to fulfill additional requirements to travel by air to the United States.

Yes, but the reason was he was not vaccinated. How does this play out for other Non-US citizens? Maybe you can explain this..........And last year you DID need a vaccination card for a Non-Us citizen to enter the US. Am I wrong on that?

Unless you sneak across the southern border. I believe you still need proof of vaccination to go to Europe as well.

They are fighting tooth and nail to get rid of Title 42. According to "them" the pandemic is over. I had no idea law abiding travelers were still subjected to these requirements.

COVID-19: travel measures

Find the overview of COVID-19 travel measures to travel between EU countries and into the EU from another country.
www.consilium.europa.eu www.consilium.europa.eu
Found this link

But the Reason I believe this is accurate is we have a family member flying direct to NY in March, no more to another country and then to USA. and they also advised us that we can travel freely back to Europe and around Europe ..
This can possibly change at moments notice however .

Yes.. I flew in from Argentina to the USA a few months ago and then to DR and showed my vaccination card with my 2021 vaccinations done in the DR, and no problems..The only checks seem to be at the check in desk and not on arrival.

U.S. authorities said this month the requirement for foreign air travelers to be vaccinated against COVID would be in place until at least April 10, meaning Djokovic will miss out on Indian Wells and Miami again.

'Disgrace' if Djokovic not allowed to enter US and compete, says Haas | CNN

Novak Djokovic could end the year as the world's top-ranked player but it would be a "disgrace" if his chances are affected by not being able to compete in the United States due to his unvaccinated status, Indian Wells tournament director Tommy Haas said.

I am in Denmark still and could go and get a booster Pfizer as they now accept walkins as fewer and fewer are going especially for 3rd and 4th shots. But I will rather not. I feel I have done enough with the two Sinovac.

I was "4 shots and done" here in the DR, but then I got Covid back in July of last year on a government trip to Santo Domingo. So, I got that going for me.

May 11 the vaccine requirement for air passengers entering the US ends:
