For most (all?) locations, there will be restrictions. Canada for example, has a limited list of approved vaccines (https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/foreign-sept7-vaccine). Sinovac is not on that list.

I would be surprised if anyone has a clue at this point as to the final direction of the change by the time we have to decide. There's a rather strange assumption in this discussion that just because a country (say the US) decides to allow inbound vaccinated travellers, people will therefore show up at an IETF meeting in that country. In fact, that will depend on (a) the personal appetite for risk of each potential participant and (b) the travel policy of each potential participant's employer (inlcuding their insurance company) and (c) the travel and quarantine policy of the potential participant's country of residence. It's just too complicated to predict the situation at the time of IETF 114. Brian
