News of the Mediterranean country’s reopening comes straight from the Embassy of Spain USA, which tweeted out the conditions for entry on Saturday.

To be eligible for entry, vaccinated travelers should make sure they have received vaccines that are approved by the European Medicines Agency or World Health Organization before scheduling a trip.

The European Medicines Agency currently has four vaccines that are authorized for building immunity against the novel coronavirus, including Comirnaty, Janssen, Moderna and Vaxzevria (previously COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca).

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has authorized COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna, Oxford–AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson, Sinopharm-BBIBP and Sinovac.
