Vaccination requirements for entry into the U.S. after November

Question

I heard that the vaccination requirement will apply to foreign travelers entering the U.S. starting November 2021.
Green card holders are foreigners, but they are in the "resident" category, not "traveler". Does this rule apply ？

I also heard that COVID vaccination is now mandatory for new green card applicants, so I was just wondering ？ if it is required for foreigners even if they have permanent resident status.

Please let me know if you know. Thank you in advance.

It hasn't been officially announced yet, but it will apply to all people arriving from overseas.

Even if you are a permanent resident, it will apply to you if you are coming back to the US from overseas.

I didn't say tourists or travelers from abroad.

Oh, right. When the news said "foreign travelers," I thought of them as tourists, but I should have thought of them as travelers. I was mistaken.
Thank you.

According to CNN news, permanent residents are treated the same as US citizens.

Unvaccinated US citizens and permanent residents will still be allowed in, with more stringent testing
Unvaccinated Americans are the exception, but they will be "subject to stricter testing requirements," including a test within one day of their flight's departure for the United States and an additional test when they return, Jeff Zients, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator, said on Monday.

Regarding the obligation to vaccinate, regardless of whether you are a "traveler" or a "resident", it wouldn't hurt to get it to protect yourself...

coco0701, thanks for the excerpt from CNN News, US citizens and permanent residents are treated the same, right?
Bibi, yes, I understand. But there are certain people who don't type for various reasons, so I wanted to know how forgiving the rules are.

#4 I read CNN news by coco0701,

citizens and green card holders who have not been vaccinated are now strictly required.
Unvaccinated people need a negative certificate within 1 day.
There will be some cases where they will not be able to make the flight within 1 day.

Foreign travelers must have a vaccine passport and a negative certificate within 3 days.
Japan has apparently surpassed the U.S. vaccination rate, so
a negative certificate within 3 days is easier to obtain.

It is difficult for those who cannot be vaccinated for various reasons.

GC, thank you for explaining the details of the regulation. It's very strict. Hawaii approved clinics in Japan usually give PCR results the next day, right? I guess I won't be able to make it in time.
