The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for noncitizens arriving by land or boat, according to a Thursday announcement.

The agency said it would extend its Title 19 requirements, which gives the administration the power to continue to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates for noncitizen travelers. Those travelers who try to enter the country will need to produce a written record of vaccination from a government health agency or ministry as they show their passport and other documentation to Customs and Border Protection agents.
