From October 1, all migrant visa applicants to the United States of America must be vaccinated against COVID-19.
This is a new requirement by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
The U.S. Department ​of State is currently working with the CDC ​to implement this requirement. It does not apply to non-immigrant visa (NIV) classes such as tourist or student visas.
