In the documentation for I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record it says,
From Dec. 9, 2021, until Sept. 30, 2022, we are temporarily waiving the requirement that the civil surgeon’s signature be dated no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
What does that mean:
we are temporarily waiving the requirement that the civil surgeon’s signature be dated no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.
Highlighted it for you. They're referring to the date of filing the form.
Usually you need to do the doctor's examination within 60 days before filing the AOS, but due to the pandemic they're easing this restriction. IIRC the doctor's examination results are valid for 2 years, that hasn't changed. From the same notice:
It is still in the best interest of applicants to undergo the immigration medical examination close to the time of filing their Form I-485, as their Form I-693 only retains its evidentiary value for two years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature. After the two-year timeframe, the applicant would need to submit a new Form I-693 if we have not adjudicated their Form I-485. This temporary waiver is effective until Sept. 30, 2022.
