Covid-19 Vaccine?

[Israth 22]

Hello everyone

 

Is Covid-19 vaccine really required if you are outside USA after Oct 1?

 

In Bangladesh

1. It will take me 3 months to get vaccine.

2. They might need a national ID Card, passport may not work, I heard people having issues, getting a national id card is a very lengthy process.

 

If vaccine required, is there a way to get waved?

How do I apply?

I presume you are talking about the visa medical. If the vaccine is not available in your country the doctor will waive it. See extract from cdc below, under the section “Blanket waivers”.

• Not routinely available
  If none of the approved COVID-19 vaccines are routinely available in the country where the panel physician practices, the “Not routinely available” reason should be documented.  If an approved COVID-19 vaccine is available to the applicant but limited supply would cause significant delay for the applicant to receive it, then this situation would also be considered “Not routinely available.”
