1. Each Member State shall take the biometric data of every person of at least six years of age who has been admitted in accordance with a national resettlement scheme and transmit such data to Eurodac, together with the data referred to in Article 21(1), points (c) to (o), as soon as it grants that person international protection or humanitarian status under national law and no later than 72 hours thereafter.
2. Non-compliance with the time limit set out in paragraph 1 shall not relieve Member States of the obligation to take the biometric data and transmit them to Eurodac. Where the condition of the fingertips does not allow the taking of the fingerprints of a quality ensuring appropriate comparison under Article 38, the Member State of origin shall retake the fingerprints and retransmit them as soon as possible after they have been successfully retaken.
3. By way of derogation from the paragraph 2, where it is not possible to take biometric data of a person admitted in accordance with a national resettlement scheme on account of measures taken to ensure his or her health or the protection of public health, Member States shall take and transmit such biometric data as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after those health grounds no longer prevail.
