Hi there. Shadowednavi's future husband using her account here. Tomorrow I have my medical coming up and in my pre-mailing of forms check up I stumbled on the vaccination records which it asked me to bring.

Now, I'm not the most knowledgeable person in the world and I don't visit the doctors... ever. Last visit I can recall was like 5 years ago. I'm not even sure where my info would be right now.

So... I realise asking on the night before the appointment is borderline insane, but I'd rather have a calm night of sleep before it on the off chance that I can get away with it.

The forms mention that if you don't have a record you can sort something out with the doctor and/or get the vaccinations in the US (on a K1 visa, anyway).

So... uh? How bad would it be if I walk in there tomorrow with just the form and the photos, no vaccination record in hand?

I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong...but I think that your vaccinations have to be updated by the time you do AOS stateside...

Darren had a titre (sp?) test done to see what vaccinations he needed done and which ones he didn't...we're hoping the results come back for the medical (in a week and a half)...

As far as I am aware you don't need the vacs for the K-1, only for AOS so in theory you shouldn't need to get them when you go for your medical. If you go to the doc they should be able to tell you what you have had if you are using the same doc you had when you were younger - I know my records were on file at mine and I just had booster jabs for the things I needed...

I would recommend getting them up to date in the UK though before you leave as you can get them done at your GP on the NHS and not have to pay for them smile.gif

Hope this helps and good luck at the medical - we'd all love a review I am sure biggrin.gif
