My fiance Carol's mother does not have records of her vaccinations. Does Carol need to get all of these vaccinations before her medical. I am confused it says :
“K” visa applicants, as nonimmigrant visa applicants, are technically not subject to the vaccination requirement. “K” visa applicants who refuse to comply with the vaccination requirement will not be denied a visa on that basis.
VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR “K” VISA APPLICANTS U.S. immigration law requires that ALL intending immigrants be vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases before they can be admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Vaccinations currently required are as follows:
Mumps
Measles
Rubella
Polio
Tetanus and Diphtheria toxoids
Pertussis
Influenza Type B
Hepatitis Type A
Hepatitis Type B
Varicella
Pneumoccocal
Rotavirus
Meningococcal
Human Papillomavirus
Zoster
Any other vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices
“K” visa applicants, as nonimmigrant visa applicants, are technically not subject to the vaccination requirement. “K” visa applicants who refuse to comply with the vaccination requirement will not be denied a visa on that basis. As a matter of expediency, however, it is encouraged that “K” visa applicants meet the vaccination requirement before they are admitted into the U.S. Bring Your Vaccination Records for the Panel Physician’s Review You should bring records to show that you have already received vaccinations against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The panel physician will review the vaccination records and will determine if you meet the vaccination requirement. Only the panel physician can determine which vaccinations are medically appropriate. This could mean that you may be required to repeat doses of vaccines that you have already received. Administering a second dose, however, will not endanger your health.
