This page from a US embassy says:
“Beginning in early November, adult foreign nationals traveling to the United States will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with limited exceptions.  U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents (LPR) will be exempted from this vaccination requirement, although unvaccinated U.S. citizens, nationals, and LPRs will be subject to new pre-travel and post-travel testing requirements.”

She only needs negative test. I've been flying to Europe on 2-year GC and they only asked for negative test when checking-in. It has to be done three days before boarding the flight. I read that proof of recovery within 90 days before boarding is also acceptable.

Thanks for the response. I will also continue checking the news, as I believe there is a new conference about it tomorrow. But, logically speaking I’m not sure how they could prevent a legal resident from entering the country because of a vaccine. But, who knows with all this insanity.

Someone asked this question of Jen Psaki(🤮) at one of the press briefings and she said she wasn’t sure and she would find out and report back.  I’ve been scouring all the press releases to try to find some official statement about it, but nothing yet.  I will certainly update here when I do.  I have seen a few places, including the US embassy in the Bahamas stating that LPRs won’t need to be vaccinated, but I’m waiting to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Literally speaking:

Looking at the current travel restrictions and guidelines, my reading of it is that because she's a Permanent Resident now, she will not be required to be vaccinated to return to the US. I'm not sure what restrictions in Austria are like so it may be worth checking there. 

The US Consulate in Vienna Austria confirmed that a K-1 is a NON-IMMIGRANT visa and ARE NOT AFFECTED by this ban. K-1's will be issued once the Consulates re-open and K-1's will be allowed in the country once the travel ban is lifted (or if you aren't in a country specified by the travel ban).
 
My fiance was in Austria for her K-1 interview and medical exam at the time of the ban. On the day the travel ban went into effect, she did her medical exam and was the last interview the Consulate did before closing. They took her passport and told her that her visa would be sent to her the second the Consulate re-opens. As of now the Vienna Consulate is set to re-open May 4, but that could change any day. Hope this helps some who are worried.

As of now, I am not worried about this. There is no rationale to ban K-1s as their AOS takes about 6 months. Therefore, they are no immediate threat to American jobs. Obviously, the government may not care about that, but won't know until if or when an amendment is made to this EO.
