The United States Government has announced a compulsory COVID-19 vaccination as part of its requirements for all applicants seeking lawful permanent residence in the US.
This is part of the new guidelines released by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
“Beginning October 1, 2021, green card applicants will now be required to establish that they have received a complete COVID-19 vaccine series, in order to be deemed eligible for permanent residence in the United States.
“The new vaccine requirement will apply to routine medical examinations necessary for both adjustment of status applicants applying for green cards in the United States and immigrant visa applicants applying at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad”, the CDC statement read.
