Biden administration prepares plan requiring foreign travelers to be vaccinated

The Biden administration is currently developing a "phased" plan requiring all foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. to be fully vaccinated before entry, with "limited exceptions," according to a White House official.
Federal interagency working groups are "developing a policy and planning process to be prepared for when the time is right," the official also said. Reuters first reported the development of an expected vaccination requirement for most international travelers. "The interagency working groups are working to develop a plan for a consistent and safe international travel policy, in order to have a new system ready for when we can reopen travel. This includes a phased approach that over time will mean, with limited exceptions, that foreign nationals traveling to the United States (from all countries) need to be fully vaccinated," the official told CBS News. "Currently, the interagency working groups are developing a policy and planning process to be prepared for when the time is right to transition to this new system."Billions of cicadas are emerging across about 16 states in the Southeast and Midwest. Periodical cicadas used to reliably emerge every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. But in a warming world where spring conditions arrive sooner, climate change is messing with the bugs' internal alarm clocks.
