- jeffbee 4y agoFalse. Children, people traveling for emergencies, and anyone medically unable to take the vaccine may travel to the U.S. without it.
- TrevorJ 4y agoIt sounds good, but I can tell you from experience that getting the exception on medical grounds is quite difficult, even with pretty incontrovertible reasons. Doctors were very much pressured to not put their career on the line and would rather sweep you under the rug.

- mike_hearn 4y agoI've never encountered anyone who was able to get a formal medical exemption even when their doctors told them not to take the second shot due to severe reaction, so in practice this condition doesn't mean anything.
- jltsiren 4y agoHave you tried to enter the US as a non-citizen recently? You have to complete an attestation form, with a long list of exceptions from the vaccination requirement. The things that get reported in the news are simplified, while the reality is complicated and messy.
