We accept vaccines that have received final approval on the WHO EUL list https://extranet.who.int/pqweb/sites/default/files/documents/Status_COVID_VAX_26May2022.pdf

 

The CMS omnibus rule has language that allows for WHO approved vaccines in use in other countries (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/11/05/2021-23831/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-omnibus-covid-19-health-care-staff-vaccination printed page 61564):

 

Accordingly, staff

may be considered compliant with the

requirements within this regulation if

they have received any combination of

two doses of a vaccine licensed or

authorized by the FDA or listed on the

WHO emergency use list as part of a

two-dose series

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!
