With many types of Covid-19 vaccines being administered in various parts of the world, a major issue being faced by people travelling around is to ensure that the vaccine that they have taken is accepted in certain countries where they need to travel.

When travelling to Saudi Arabia, It is very important to make sure that you are vaccinated with authorized vaccines accepted by Saudi Arabia.

In this article we will explain about Chinese Vaccines Sinopharm and Sinovac and explain how your vaccination with Chinese Corona vaccines will be acceptable in Saudi Arabia.

Is Chinese Vaccine Accepted by Saudi Arabia?

There are two types of Chinese vaccines for Covid-19 (Sinopharm and SinoVac) which are being administered to a large number of people in various countries including India & Pakistan. However, in Saudi Arabia these Chinese vaccines are not being provided to the public as of now and Saudi Arabia has approved following types of vaccines for people travelling to KSA:

• Pfizer BionTech
• Astrazeneca
• Moderna
• Johnson & Johnson Janssen

However, Saudi Arabia has now started accepting Chinese Vaccines Sinopharm and SinoVac as well with a condition that people with two doses of either of these two vaccines must take a booster shot of one of the accepted covid vaccines by Saudi Arabia. Any one who has taken two doses of Chinese vaccines and one booster shot of any of those 4 vaccines is also considered full immune and such travellers will also be eligible to proceed without institutional quarantine.
