USCIS immigration medical exam in Pembroke Pines

Navigating the USCIS immigration medical exam can be overwhelming, especially when policies change. At Proper Health & Wellness, we’re here to make the process simple, stress-free, and efficient by keeping you informed about the latest updates.

USCIS Removes COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement

As of January 22, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has officially waived the COVID-19 vaccine requirement for individuals completing the immigration medical exam (Form I-693). This means that applicants no longer need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to fulfill their medical exam requirements.

What You Still Need for Your Immigration Medical Exam

While the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer required, other CDC-mandated vaccinations remain necessary to meet USCIS health requirements. Some of the essential vaccines include:

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
Hepatitis B
Varicella (Chickenpox)
Influenza (during flu season)

If you’re applying for adjustment of status, it’s essential to complete your Form I-693 medical exam with a USCIS-designated civil surgeon to ensure all required vaccinations and screenings are properly documented.
