Questions Relevant to Immigrant Residents
-
Will I be asked about my immigration status to receive the vaccine?
No. In Washington state, all eligible residents are able to receive a vaccine, regardless of your immigration and citizenship status. Vaccine providers should not be asking about your immigration status. The Biden/Harris administration has declared that all vaccine sites are sensitive locations and immigration enforcement agencies will not carry out operations at or near such facilities, which also include health care facilities and hospitals. -
Will I be required to pay or have insurance to receive the vaccine?
No. There is no cost for the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine will be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance. And the cost of the vaccine will be covered for people who are uninsured. -
Will receiving the vaccine impact my ability to become a U.S. citizen?
No. Testing and treatment for COVID-19 (including vaccination) will not count against you for the public charge test. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State are no longer enforcing the Trump-era public charge rule. -
What are the ingredients in the vaccine?
The key ingredient in both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is mRNA, which tells your cells how to make a protein from the coronavirus, allowing it to recognize COVID-19 and protect you from infection. These vaccines also contain lipids, salts, and sugar.
The key ingredient in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is adenovirus 26, a harmless virus used to deliver the spike protein that's on the surface of the coronavirus to our cells. The cells can then recognize COVID-19 and protect you from infection. This vaccine also contains citric acid and ethanol.
The vaccines DO NOT contain: pork products, egg, latex, blood products, COVID-19 virus cells, mercury, or microchips.
