Beijing residents who received foreign Covid-19 vaccines are anxiously awaiting guidance on whether jabs administered overseas will be recognised under a new rule requiring proof of vaccination to enter public places.

Some said they would have to get Chinese vaccines if their status could not be recognised to avoid being barred from entry under the mandate, which takes effect on Monday.
