White House says unvaccinated migrants allowed in US and tennis player who isn’t are 'two different things’

The White House sidestepped a question about why it continues to let untested and unvaccinated illegal immigrants into the United States while tennis star Novak Djokovic is not allowed to enter to play in this year's U.S. Open.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy questioned the Biden administration about the paradox during Monday's news briefing.

"How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?" he asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

"The U.S. government cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases. Due to privacy reasons, the U.S. also does not comment on medical information of individual travelers as it relates to this tennis player," she replied.
Djokovic, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, will miss the U.S. Open over his refusal to get vaccinated.

Jean-Pierre deferred the question to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which she said has its own protocols, saying "it's two different things."

Doocy further pressed Jean-Pierre on remarks.

"Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that's not okay. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they're allowed to stay?" .......

So apparently Tennis players can give you COVID but a strawberry picker can't? How does that work?
 
Persons applying for an immigrant visa overseas and persons applying for legal permanent residence within the United States (known as status adjustment) are required to provide proof of vaccinations as a part of the medical examination process. If they do not already have proof, they must begin vaccination according to the CDC Vaccine Technical Instructions for the overseas exam or adjustment of status examination. The vaccination schedules in the Technical instructions are based on immunization schedules recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

Although refugees are not required to have vaccinations before arrival in the United States, CDC, in collaboration with the Department of State, developed a Vaccination Program for U.S.-bound Refugees, which started in 2013 and is in the process of expansion. The program is implemented by the International Organization for Migration, and other international partners. The goals of this program are to improve the health of refugees before and during travel, to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks, and to expedite school entry for children after arrival. As part of this program, refugees start the series of certain ACIP-recommended vaccinations during their overseas medical examination, before travel to the United States.

After one year in the US, refugees can apply for a change of status to that of legal permanent resident. At that time, they will be required to be fully vaccinated in accordance with CDC Technical Instructions for the status adjustment medical examination.
