Canada has added Sinopharm to its list of accepted vaccines.
On Friday, the Canadian Government announced that it expanded the list of COVID-19 vaccines that travellers can receive to be considered fully vaccinated for the purpose of travel to Canada, effective November 30th 2021 (See link here).
The list will include Sinopharm, Sinovac and COVAXIN, matching the World Health Organization Emergency Use Listing.
The Public Health Agency of Canada also announced that after January 15th, 2022, unvaccinated or partially vaccinated foreign nationals will only be allowed to enter Canada if they meet the criteria for limited exceptions, which apply to certain groups such as agricultural and food processing workers, marine crew members, those entering on compassionate grounds, new permanent residents, resettling refugees and some children under the age of 18.
Exempt unvaccinated travellers will continue to be subject to testing, quarantine, and other entry requirements.
