The United States national public heal agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends that citizens of the United States avoid travel to Tajikistan because the current COVID-19 situation in Tajikistan is unknown.
Even fully vaccinated travelers reportedly may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.
The CDC notes that if US citizens must travel to Tajikistan they should make sure they are fully vaccinated before travel.
Travelers should follow recommendations or requirements in Tajikistan, including wearing a mask and staying 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart from others, according to the CDC.
The CDC notes that fully vaccinated travelers are less likely to get and spread COVID-19, however, international travel reportedly poses additional risks, and even fully vaccinated travelers might be at increased risk for getting and possibly spreading some COVID-19 variants.
