COVID vaccination for international students

Coming from potentially all over the world, international students who will study in the U.S. this year face  a variety of expectations about COVID-19 vaccination. Some institutions are attempting to simplify the question of which vaccine and where it is administered by simply requiring international students to verify a vaccination, regardless of which one it is. At least this simplified approach will help international students who are trying to find affordable flights as well as adhere to quarantine requirements as they arrive in the U.S. It's not going to be easy but smart institutions will err on the side of flexibility.

After Federal officials announced that fully vaccinated students and scholars would be allowed to enter the U.S.A. beginning November 8, the American Council on Education and other groups urged flexibility for internationals for whom vaccination is not readily available in their home countries.
