Covid cannot get on USPS employees, it mostly comes out after 10 pm (hence the curfews), and can only be contracted while walking thru a restaurant.  Oh, and planes.  Those are the WORST, gotta mask up on a plane!

If it's before October 1st, you don't need to be vaccinated at all against COVID (although it's a good idea still, and you are). What the CDC has said is if one of the US-approved vaccines is not routinely available, or is available but it would involve a significant delay to obtain it, there is a waiver. The guidelines for civil surgeons are here: https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/civil-surgeons/covid-19-technical-instructions.html?fbclid=IwAR3Yrfx1DyDKCNwasM0VFlC_sQ1IRRy536X-5DInwXc5DeDV-bVcLAZp3tw

 

This is the bit I'm talking about:

Have you had your medical yet?

I got the October 1st part. But what if, soon, the USA mandates vaccine for all travelers and the Sinovac is not on the list of approved vaccines? Is the whole process and wait gonna be lost if I can't take the approved one here in my country? And by soon I mean like in the next few months which would be when I travel if I get my visa.

Events will evolve in the coming months.  Upon visa issuance, you'll be informed of what the requirements are.  Until then, try to avoid worrying about what hasn't happened yet.

You can get the waiver, as I mentioned before. You are in a situation where yes, you could have received one on the list but it would involve an unreasonably long wait, and the waiver procedure says that is an excuse. 

 

Deep breaths!

It's a shame that legitimate news stories sometimes legitimately feature an epithet or disguised epithet that can't be linked here because of the TOS.

 

However, if anyone happens to be browsing

and sees a story beginning "Hundreds of New York Teachers," it may be of interest.

Interesting headline, that puts the mortality rate at 0.2%.  What other common respiratory disease has an estimated mortality rate of around 0.2%?
