The article sounds like it will be required to apply. Not sure it's been made a requirement to enter.

Thank you for your reply.

 

Yes that's I'm confused and I don't feel confident enough to do it today (vaccine) since the Medical facility (SLEC) don't really mandate applicants to be fully vaccinated before doing the Medical Exam.

Not a requirement for entry but apparently becoming a requirement to pass the medical.  

The scenario I could envision is that Janssen vaccine is one shot and "fully vaccinated", approved to be given at the same time as other vaccines, is available in the Philippines and could easily be stored in SLEC's fridge.  I could see Janssen vaccine becoming just another one of the ordinary vaccines for applicants who are unvaccinated.  Or any other vaccine if they got their card saying fully vaccinated by LGU.

Oh thank you.

 

My vaccine today is Pfizer, made up my mind to do it now so no problem in the future. 

 

Godbless.

Well Pfizer is an even better choice if it's available to you.  I'm just guessing Janssen would become a default for folks who show up at SLEC for their medical and have no vaccination record.

COVID vaccine will be required as part of visa medical at SLEC starting Oct 1, 2021.  Here's the official source -- https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/covid-19-technical-instructions.html

Then I wonder if SLEC will provide? Many barangays have yet to roll out the vaccine to all citizens. My fiancé has signed up four times in different locations and has yet to get an appointment.

Hopefully they will.  If SLEC does not have a supply of the vaccine at the time of the medical, your fiancee will likely get a waiver due to the vaccine not being routinely available.

This news looks interesting to me, if I am understanding it correctly. As a person not belong to any priority group list here in the Philippines, I recieved not a single dose of covid-19 jab as of today. If Saintlukes will provide this covid-19 vaccine as part of your medical examination; great then, it gives me hope to get vaccinated.
