Countries Requiring American Travelers Be COVID-19 Vaccinated for Entry

Every COVID-19 vaccinated individual has his or her own set of reasons for getting the jab. You or someone you love may be immunocompromised, or maybe you just dread the idea of getting profoundly sick for an extended period. But, after 19 months of staying close to home, it’s likely that being able to travel safely again is also on the list of motivators for many Americans.

Now that international travel is opening up again, slowly but surely, vaccination not only provides peace of mind for your own personal health reasons but also increasingly enables you to enter foreign countries that you otherwise couldn’t. Note that it’s often the case that travelers can alternatively provide documented proof of recent recovery from the virus as evidence of immunity, in place of proof of vaccination.

Here are some of the world’s popular destinations that are granting entry to American visitors only if they’re vaccinated.
