Trump Rescinds COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Legal Immigrants Seeking Permanent Residency Effective January 22, 2025
Jan 22, 2025, 09:16 PM
President Donald Trump has rescinded the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for legal immigrants seeking permanent residency in the United States. The decision, effective January 22, 2025, was announced by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which stated that it will no longer require applicants to provide documentation of having received the COVID-19 vaccine on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. Furthermore, USCIS will not issue any Requests for Evidence (RFE) or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID) related to the vaccine, nor will it deny any adjustment of status applications based on the absence of such documentation. This move reverses a policy implemented during the Biden administration, which had required the vaccine for legal immigrants but not for those entering the country illegally.
