Seventeen Republican governors urged President Joe Biden on Aug. 10 to lift the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for international travelers, noting that dozens of countries around the world have rescinded vaccination requirements in recent months.
Non-U.S. citizens who are also nonimmigrants must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination before traveling by air into the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) imposed the requirement in October 2021 at Biden’s direction.
