• The Biden administration is rolling out new vaccine requirements for international travelers coming into the United States.
• Starting Nov. 8, three new orders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be put into place, according to a senior administration official.
• The first requires non-U.S. citizens traveling into the country, who are not immigrants, to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding their flight.
• Officials say both digital and paper proof of vaccination will be accepted by international airlines.
• This order includes narrow medical exceptions, exemptions for children under 18, and people from countries with less than a 10 percent total vaccination rate due to lack of availability of vaccines.
• “Even in the low-vaccine-availability countries, people will also need to have a compelling reason to come here,” said the official.  “So, it’s just not they’re coming here for any reason; they need to have a specific, compelling reason.  So, tourist visas will not qualify for that.”
• White House officials have said multiple times in recent weeks that “nothing is off the table” in terms of requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for domestic flights.
