COVID Emergency Declaration Ending May 11th - Vaccines Still Required?

[BlackBee 3]

Biden announced today that he is ending the Covid Emergency Declaration on May 11th, 2023.  Does that mean a Vaccine will no longer be required to enter the US as a non-resident/citizen?

Closest i have found is this. 
 

“H.R. 185, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), is a brief bill.

“A BILL [to] terminate the requirement imposed by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for proof of COVID–19 vaccination for foreign travelers,” the top of the legislation reads.

The legislation would forbid federal agencies from using any congressionally-apportioned funds to enforce such a vaccination mandate on foreign travelers.

In addition to overruling the CDC’s April 2022 order, the bill would prohibit the imposition of any similar vaccination requirement for foreign travelers entering the United States in the future.”

Assuming the emergency ends on May 11, yes I expect that these seeking to enter on a  non immigrant status will be exempt from a Covid vaccination requirement.
