COVID-19 Vaccine Exemption

Vaccinated Outside of the United States

Individuals who were vaccinated outside the United States with a COVID-19 vaccine approval by the World Health Organization, an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine and have received all the recommended doses do not need any additional doses, but may be eligible for an Additional or Booster dose based on current public health recommendations. People who received the first dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine that requires two doses do not need to restart the vaccine series in the United States but should receive the second dose as close to the recommended time as possible.

Some people may have received a COVID-19 vaccine that is not currently authorized in the United States. No data are available on the safety or efficacy of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized in the United States after receipt of a non-FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine. However, in some circumstances people who received a COVID-19 vaccine not currently authorized in the United States may be offered revaccination with an FDA-authorized vaccine:
