Questions on I-601 vaccine waiver

[curiousimmigrant3 9]

Hello everyone, I have my doctors appointment next week and the US visa interview at the end of the month. I just found out that me and my 6 year old daughter would need to be FULLy vaccinated before the medical exam. I didnt know this was mandatory and I just came across this form I-601 which is a waiver from the vaccine. It’s my understanding that this form costs about $1k per person and adds another 18 months into the process, is that correct? 😮

 

Would there be another possibility than this? I dont wanna have to pay $2k for that… could we perhaps get a letter from a local doctor saying WHY we’re not apt for the vaccines?

 

my daughter is actually fully vaccinated— except for the flu vaccine and covid. I’m also fully vaccinated even with the covid vaccine but in my country of residence the US requires another shot within the last 12 months. My 2nd and last shot was about 2-3 years ago maybe. And the problem with presenting my vaccine history is that I dont have the book anymore!!! It was from when I was a child and it’s been decades I’ve seen it

 

ANY TIps  on how to go from here? I have other 2 american children (recentle born within the last 20 months, exactly when we first applied for the marriage visa) and my reasons not to vaccinate are moral and religious. But as I mentioned, it doesnt make sense to pay $2k to attest that AND also wait another almost 2 years… 

Or is there a waiver to the waiver 😅 so we dont have to pay for the I-601v
