US citizen traveling to China on Q2 visa - COVID19

US citizen traveling to China on Q2 visa - COVID19 - Narrow paved street with outdoor cafe and classic styled buildings decorated with various countries flags and banners in sunlight

My Q2 visa (for visiting relatives in China) dates from 2015 and will be valid until 2025. At the start of the COVID19 pandemic, every visa that had been issued before a certain date in 2020 became invalid, but it seems like the travel restrictions have relaxed and it is now possible to use older, valid visas.

Are there any additional restrictions for traveling to China with a valid visa? The Department of Foreign Affairs mentions that one needs to get the Chinese vaccine in order to travel. Is it possible to go with a non-Chinese vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.) as I don't think it is possible to get the Chinese vaccine in the US.

Also, I need a visa for my 2-year old daughter. Are toddlers also required to take the vaccine? Thank you
