No otherwise qualified individual who has not received a COVID–19 vaccine, shall, solely by reason of her or his vaccine status, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service.

Proof of COVID–19 vaccination shall not be a requirement for access to Federal property or Federal services, or for access to congressional grounds or services.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security may request, require, and collect vaccination records providing evidence of vaccination for COVID–19, SARS–CoV–2, or any variant of COVID–19 or SARS–CoV–2 from any alien (as defined in section 101(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1101(a) ) seeking admission to the United States or departing the United States, to the extent necessary to ensure public health. The Secretary of Homeland Security may maintain such evidence of vaccination and any ancillary documentation for a period the Secretary considers necessary.
