Restricting travel over vaccine type could be discrimination, Pan American health body says

MEXICO CITY—Countries should grant entry to vaccinated travelers regardless of which shot they received to prevent discrimination and facilitate business, a top official of the Pan American Health Organization said on Wednesday.

The United States last week said it would reopen the land border with Mexico, the busiest in the world, but only allow people who have been inoculated with vaccines authorized by the World Health Organization , leaving out two shots heavily used in Mexico — Russia's Sputnik V and one from China's Cansino Biologics.

"It can facilitate tourism, it can facilitate business, it is in the interest of society," Barbosa said. Millions of Mexicans have been vaccinated with Sputnik V and Cansino shots. Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he will urge the WHO to speed up approvals.
