citizens. In particular, people vaccinated with vaccines that are not approved by WHO or the FDA will not be allowed into the territory of the States. The Russian drug & # 34; Sputnik V & # 34; belongs to them. Read today in the magazine USA.ONE :
Foreigners vaccinated with & # 34; Sputnik V & # 34;
Why is this happening and what vaccines are recognized in America?
Vaccinated & # 34; Sputnik V & # 34; will close the entrance to the States 
Russian vaccine & # 34; Sputnik V & # 34; approved in 70 countries of the world with a population of about 4 billion people. It was purchased in the amount of 448 million doses, and now everyone who has been vaccinated against the coronavirus with this drug will not be able to enter the United States. It all started with the fact that during an inspection of one of the factories for the production of a vaccine, WHO specialists discovered non-compliance with good manufacturing practices and suspended the approval of & # 34; Sputnik & # 34 ;.
According to the new requirements, those wishing to visit the United States must be vaccinated with drugs recognized by the WHO and the FDA. Currently these include Pfizer/BioNTech, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Sinovac. The restrictions may apply to citizens vaccinated with Indian Covaxin, which is also not on the list. The Russian authorities have already responded to discrimination against the Russian vaccine & # 34; Sputnik V & # 34; in the States.
State Duma deputies and representatives of a private equity fund complain about WHO, which refuses to certify a domestic drug for use. Misunderstandings related to «Sputnik V» also affected the recently held UN General Assembly in New York, to which delegates from Russia were refused admittance without an approved vaccination. Their movement was also restricted in Strasbourg. Foreign Ministry officials say that discrimination against the Russian drug began in March 2021.
At the moment, the United States banned entry to foreigners who have visited South Africa, India, Iran, Great Britain, Brazil, Ireland over the past 2 weeks or one of the Schengen countries. Russian citizens can still get to the States with a negative test for COVID-19 and a valid visa, but the rules will change in November.
