1:30 US Residency: COVID Vaccines Required for Green Cards

From 1 October, all green card applicants will need to get Covid-19 vaccinations to clear their immigration medical exam and obtain permanent residence.
This vaccine joins a long list of the vaccines that are already required.
…
2:24 COVID-19 Vaccines and Proof of Vaccination
Approved COVID-19 vaccines are those authorised for use in the United States or those listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization.
Since applicants are medically screened well in advance of getting a green card, a negative screening for Covid-19 at the time of the medical evaluation does not mean the applicant will be Covid-free when they eventually become a permanent resident.
“A combination of vaccination and routine infection control practices, the CDC will provide the best protection from Covid-19 for applicants and US communities” the CDC said
Acceptable proof of vaccination includes:
* Official vaccination record
*Medical chart with physician entries pertaining to the vaccination
* *Appropriate medical personnel attestation.
If the applicant attends the required medical exam unvaccinated, the process may be delayed as applicants must receive all doses of the COVID-19 vaccine before the medical exam can be completed.
3:42 Covid Vaccine Exemptions
The CDC guidance lists the reasons for exemption from this requirement as follows:
* Applicants who are too young to receive the vaccine
* Applicants who have a medical contraindication to the vaccine
* Applicants who do not have access to one of the approved COVID-19 vaccines
* Religious or moral convictions grounds
Waivers based on religious or moral convictions are considered on an individual basis.
…
4:33 Vaccine Refusal
If an applicant refuses one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and is not eligible for a waiver, the designated physician will document that the vaccine requirements are not complete.
As a result, the applicant will likely be deemed inadmissible and ineligible for lawful permanent resident status.
