The U.S. will open its borders to vaccinated foreigners on Nov. 8, a White House official said, granting access to millions of people who have been shut out of the country while closing it off to anyone who hasn’t had their shots.

The overhaul marks the biggest change to U.S. travel policy since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, replacing a system that flatly barred most foreign nationals coming directly from major markets including Europe, India, Brazil and China.
