Starting today, the EU recognizes Covid certificates from Ukraine,

opening the way for easier travel, the European Commission said. Under an “equivalence decision,” Ukrainian certificates now are connected to the EU Digital Covid Certificate system. EU certificates show whether the bearer is fully vaccinated with vaccines approved by the European Medicines Agency, has recovered from a Covid-19 infection, or has a recent negative Covid test. The EU recognizes only four vaccines — BioNTech/Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson.
