Can Mexicans cross with 1 moderna shot? edit: yes
WE might, just might, start our trek north tomorrow and would like to take our neighbor to help Les unload everything to be shipped.
He has the Cancina vaccine and 1 moderna booster. Is he going to be able to cross into California?
TIA

From the interwebs:
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/10/29/fact-sheet-guidance-trav...
Arrival at Land Port of Entry or Ferry Terminal
Effective January 22, 2022, inbound non-U.S. individual travelers (non-U.S. citizens who are neither U.S. nationals nor lawful permanent residents)
can seek to enter the United States via a land port of entry (POE) or ferry terminal if they are fully vaccinated and have appropriate documentation.
Non-U.S. individuals traveling to the United States via land ports of entry or ferry terminals, whether for essential or non-essential
reasons, must:
verbally attest to their COVID-19 vaccination status;
provide proof of a CDC-approved COVID-19 vaccination, as outlined on the CDC website;
present a valid Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)-compliant document, such as a valid passport, Trusted Traveler Program Card, or
Enhanced Tribal Card;
be prepared to present any other relevant documents requested by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer during a border
inspection; and
meet all other existing requirements for entry not related to COVID-19.

Accepted Vaccines:
CDC has determined that for purposes of travel to the United States, vaccines accepted will include current FDA approved or authorized vaccines and
World Health Organization (WHO) emergency use listed (EUL) vaccines.
Individuals are considered fully vaccinated:
2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose COVID-19 vaccine;
2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series;
2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial;
2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of a Novavax (or Covovax) COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a phase 3 clinical trial; or
2 weeks (14 days) after you received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines administered at least 17 days
apart.

Only 3 vaccines presently approved for use in the US. Janssen is a conditional approval under "some situations". Updated recently:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different...
But then I also found this:
Q: Which vaccines/combination of vaccines will be accepted?
A: Per CDC guidelines, all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized vaccines, as well as all vaccines that have an Emergency Use
Listing (EUL) from the World Health Organization will be accepted.

I believe Mexico is administering both Sinovac and CanSino, and CanSino may be questionable for entry (see this from 4 months ago). |
Seriously? Stop being so sensitive. And please stop assuming things are racist.
Would you be shocked that a lot of Mexicans refer to it as the China vaccine instead the formal name?
If someone in Latin America referred to a vaccine version as the American vaccine I wouldn't think twice about it.

Lencho: A list of the acceptable vaccines should be helpful. I think if He was to get a second Moderna shot he would be fine to go 2 weeks later
regardless of which Chinese vaccination he got. Here's what your link produced:
https://visaguide.world/news/vaccine-checker-proof-of-immuni...
On the other hand, there are 8 vaccines that are approved for use by the WHO:
Pfizer/BioNTech
Moderna
Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
AstraZeneca
Covishield
Bharat Biotech – Covaxin
Sinopharm (Bejing)
Sinovac

Lencho, I did change it to the Cansino vaccine. We shall see if Nacho is allowed in to the States tomorrow. Les really needs his help with the
gazillion boxes we somehow ended up with that are headed to Long Beach and eventually to Izmir in Turkey but will be delivered to our door in Alanya.
He will also drive our Mexican car back to La Bocana.

So many of the initial vaccines across Mexico were either Sputnik or one of the other now no longer approved vaccines while they waited for the Pfizer
or Moderna shots to be released, this has to be a pretty common situation. Mexico's President had this to say back in October:
https://fronterasdesk.org/content/1726192/mexicos-president-...
People who previously thought they were fully vaccinated are now not recognized as such. In my case, I am still waiting 7 months after my 2nd shot was
finally assigned to me for my booster to be scheduled on a prioritized basis, and concerned a booster will soon be the requirement to be judged "fully
vaccinated " before I have a chance to drive through the US.

No one even asked for his vaccination papers. Les simply held out his visa card with our passport cards and bingo! Here we are in sunny San Diego!
