Hiatal hernia and getting treatment at Mayo Clinic

I have read online that unvaccinated patients elsewhere are not being considered at all for transplant surgeries. This leads me to wonder if this is true of other types of surgeries as well(?). Does vaccination status play any part in non emergency surgery acceptance?

Lin, Mayo Clinic is following national and state guidelines regarding the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and recommends that you receive a COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available to you. However, vaccination status is not grounds for refusal of treatment, including elective surgeries.
