BRUSSELS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The European Commission said
on Tuesday it would make sense for the United States to allow
travel by people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot in
Europe.
On Monday the White House said it would lift restrictions
that bar EU citizens from traveling to the United States
starting in November. It is not clear which vaccines will be
accepted by U.S. authorities.
"We believe the AstraZeneca vaccine is safe," a spokesperson
for the EU Commission told a news conference.
"From our point of view, obviously it would make sense for
people who have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca to be able to
travel," the spokesperson added, noting that this is a decision
for the U.S. authorities.
