DJsMrs Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 So the CDC now recognizes those who have had mixed vaccines as fully vaccinated for the new travel requirements beginning in November. I wonder how long it will take royal Caribbean to modify its vaccine policy to match the CDC recommendation! This is such good news for us! There are a fair number of us up here who got Astra Zeneca & Moderna (or Pfizer)!! So happy today Quote from CDC site: Interpretation of vaccine records: CDC has not recommended the use of heterologous (i.e., mix-and-match) primary series. However, the use of such strategies (including mixing of mRNA, adenoviral, and mRNA plus adenoviral products) is increasingly common in many countries outside of the United States. Therefore, for the purposes of interpretation of vaccination records, individuals can be considered fully vaccinated ≥2 weeks after receipt of the last dose if they have received any single dose of an FDA approved/authorized or WHO EUL approved single-dose series (i.e., Janssen), or any combination of two doses of an FDA approved/authorized or WHO emergency use listed COVID-19 two-dose series. The recommended interval between the first and second doses of FDA-approved/authorized and WHO-EUL listed vaccines varies by vaccine type. However, for purposes of interpretation of vaccine records, the second dose in a two dose heterologous series must have been received no earlier than 17 days (21 days with a 4 day grace period) after the first dose.

twangster Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I can only assume they will. Royal doesn't want to turn away any guest and are not seeking ways to do so. If the CDC has updated their guidance that will usually roll down to Royal. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Royal will update the FAQ soon concerning AZ + MNRA vaccination. DJsMrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floski Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm confused. Is the mixed vax thing that common? When I got mine, I never would have even considered making my second jab a different maker. Perhaps this is more common in other countries?

DJsMrs Posted October 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’m guessing you live in America. Yes - rules are different elsewhere around vaccines that were never used in the states. Floski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be close for you - but completely doable! I’ve got my fingers crossed to get my 11 year old one shot before we go - but it’ll be limited shore time for him this cruise. #FirstWorldProblem KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are leaving our 6 year old home for our nov sailing. Just not the right time and the unvaxxed rules for returning to Canada are a killer!

Rene Desmarais Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 listened to CBC news this morning, vaccinating kids won't happen till the new Year. Well that's the plan they said. We'll see WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless - it's huge progress. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
