The CDC has announced and confirmed by the UK government that all remaining vaccine and testing requirements for Brits to enter the US have been fully scrapped starting May 12th, 2023. Previously, all travellers had to be fully vaccinated and children under 18 were required to test 3 to 5 days after arrival.
On May 9, 2023, the President issued a Proclamation providing that the vaccination requirements for noncitizen nonimmigrant air travelers contained in the "Presidential Proclamation Advancing the Safe Resumption of Global Travel During the COVID-19 Pandemic" will be terminated effective at 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 12, 2023.
This means that as of 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 12, 2023, noncitizen nonimmigrant air passengers will no longer need to show proof of being fully vaccinated with an accepted COVID-19 vaccine to board a flight to the United States.
