The United States is risking more tensions with France over how the country plans to define who's vaccinated when the U.S. opens back up to European travelers next month. 

Bloomberg reported Tuesday that when the U.S. opens its borders to vaccinated travelers on November 8, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will allow in people who've had 'any combination of two doses' of the COVID-19 vaccines. 

France and the European Commission consider those who have recovered from COVID-19 and received one dose of a two-dose vaccines to be fully vaccinated, however the U.S. will not, according to an agency spokeswoman.
