Now that COVID is officially over, is this still a thing? Are only mRNA gene therapy injections accepted, or can a traditional vaccine suffice?

Just as an aside: mRNA-based vaccines are NOT gene therapy. By the way, how is COVID "officially over"?

Who's saying Covid is "officially over"? mRNA =/= gene therapy. And what "traditional vaccine" is available to combat Covid?

 

Lol.

I was being hyperbolic with "officially". Airlines are dropping mask mandates, lockdowns are long gone, etc. The pandemic is clearly long past its peak and many countries are working on initiatives to move into the endemic phase.

 

Anyway, can anyone answer my question?

she was allowed into the US so they must have accepted the vaccines she had done for the medical exam

next step immigration could ask for I 693 and require our mederna or pfzier but that's up to a dr

But that is up to immigration standards at the time she would have an interview for AOS  

and we can' t answer this question

 

BTW 

  • The mRNA in vaccines don’t interact with, or change, your genes in any way. So, they  aren’t considered gene therapy.

Did they complete her vaccinations including Covid prior to or at the overseas medical exam?

COVID shots were not required when she obtained her medical exam. That requirement was added shortly after, starting October 1.
