The rule is not necessary for those born in the US, those who have citizenship or are permanent residents.
Starting next Saturday, the United States will require full vaccination against covid-19 from foreigners who want to enter the country by land or by ferry from Mexico or Canada, according to a statement published this Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS, in English).
The requirement will be for all those non-national travelers who want to cross the border with Mexico or Canada from any of their land crossings or through the ferry terminals between the United States and these countries.
Travelers, both considered essential and non-essential, will need to carry proof of their full vaccination.
In the case of these travelers, it will not be necessary to present a negative covid-19 test, as is the case with those who enter the country by air.
The rule is not necessary for those born in the US, those who have citizenship or are permanent residents.
In December, the US began requiring travelers, both Americans and foreigners, who enter its territory from the air to have a negative covid test done no earlier than the day before the trip, due to the advancement of omicron.
Since November, when the government lifted restrictions on international tourism, the country has required visitors arriving by plane to present proof of having received the full vaccination schedule. (I)
