On Wednesday January 22nd, the Trump administration stated that immigrants coming to the United States will no longer be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
According to a notice posted on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, applicants will not need to provide proof of vaccination. This change means that applications that do not include COVID-19 vaccination status will not be rejected.
However, immigrants are still expected to have several other vaccinations, such as those for polio, measles, hepatitis B, and tetanus, before they are allowed entry into the U.S.(cbs4local.com)
Some representatives took the opportunity to criticize Biden, claiming that the unscientific mandate was imposed without congressional consent. According to him, Trump had the authority to abolish it immediately.
On Inauguration Day, Donald Trump also promised to reinstate all military personnel who were dismissed for refusing the COVID vaccine, stating they would receive full back pay.
He committed to signing an order that would shield service members from being subjected to radical political ideologies and unconventional social experiments while serving.
The statement is on the USCIS website regarding Covid Vaccine guidelines; “USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant’s failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.”
