Good afternoon,
lt. According to the US media, from December 6, 2021, all travelers will not only have to be vaccinated, but will also have to present a negative test at check-in for the flight to the USA, which must not be older than one day.

Präsidentitial Proclamation:
From November 8, 2021, only vaccinated persons will be allowed to enter the USA. This applies worldwide. Transit travelers must also meet these requirements.
The prerequisite for this is a vaccination with a vaccine approved by the WHO or the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cross-vaccinations are approved:
How is the proof of vaccination presented:
NIE permits will no longer be necessary or valid from November 8, 2021.

The Biden administration announced last Friday (15. October) announced that fully vaccinated travelers will be allowed to enter the US starting Monday, November 8, 2021. This means that the entry ban for travelers from the Schengen area that has been in place since March 2020 will be lifted and replaced by a new system that requires proof of vaccination. Business travelers should no longer have to apply for a National Interest Exception (NIE) to enter the USA.
At this point in time, it can be assumed that the Biden administration will not grant the CDC guidelines will follow who is considered vaccinated. The CDC provides that those who are fully vaccinated with an FDA-approved vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer/Biontech and Johnson & Johnson) and a WHO-approved vaccine (Astrazeneca, Sinopharm and Sinovac) will be allowed to enter the United States. In addition, the CDC stipulates that persons who have been vaccinated with cross-vaccines are also eligible for entry.
There is still no written guidance on how the Biden administration will implement this new directive. There are still unanswered questions, particularly about who is eligible for an exception. In addition, there may be delays in implementation. We therefore recommend that business travelers continue to apply for an NIE waiver until the new system is in place. In addition, travelers from Europe to the U.S. using an NIE waiver who are not vaccinated should note that they will not be allowed to enter the U.S. once the travel ban is lifted if they are not fully vaccinated.
