Hello,

My fiancee went for her Medial today and everythign went fine except one thing. The doctor told her that she needs the vaccine for the Human Papalomae Virus. They were out of stock of this vaccine and it will cost her 900 Rand plus another day off of work to drive to Joburg to get it. Now the confusion comes up with the fact that no where on her forms from the Embassy does it say she needs this vaccine. She had all the other ones that were listed. Anyone know anything about this? I dont want her to get a vaccine that she doesnt need ecspecially oen that uis so expensive.

Vaccinations for K-1 are not typically required and can be deferred until AOS.... Ask your consulate

I have never heard of an HPV vaccination being required. Contact the medical doctor yourself and find out what is going on.

I have read in the European and Canada forum that they were required to get the HPV vaccine.

It is a new requirement from this year

New requirement?? I just did my medical two days ago and the doctor never mentioned anything about HPV nor if I needed one....

It woul donly be required for women.

I heard back from the Embassy and they said that the HPV vaccine is a new reuirement!!! I wrote them and the NVC voiceing my concern over the fact that this is not listed on any of the documents sent to potential immigrats. Not sure if it will do anything, but i figure it was worth a shot to help people in the future.
