We calculate the change in the superconducting transition temperature Tc of MgB2 caused by interband nonmagnetic impurity scattering using the Eliashberg theory for the two-band model of this compound. Much slower rate of Tc suppression is obtained compared to the prediction based on the BCS treatment of the two-band model which ignores renormalization and damping associated with the electron-phonon interaction. Hence, the interband impurity scattering rates deduced from experiments on MgB2 using the formula which results from the BCS approach to the two-band model are underestimated. We generalize the BCS treatment of the two-band model to include renormalization effects of the electron-phonon interaction and find an excellent agreement with the full strong coupling calculation.
