Another COVID question – do you accept proof of COVID vaccines that are not approved in the United States to meet the federal COVID vaccine mandate?  Example – a new hire received a 2 doses of Covishield, an AstraZeneca vaccine approved for use in other countries but not in the US.
Any input is appreciated!  Thank you!
