In accordance with the latest travel conditions, the United States of America has made it mandatory for all incoming foreign passengers to provide “proof of Covid vaccination” before boarding a flight to the US.
According to the US Embassy in Pakistan, the new global travel system will be an alternative to the individual restrictions imposed by different countries.

The test is supposed to be taken three days before departure to the US.
These conditions apply to all passengers travelling to the United States, including US citizens, LPRs, and foreigners.
