medical vaccinaitons what does one need?

[gooberlove 0]

Hello all,

I got my interview date for in less than a month and all of my vaccines need to be redone:

Measles, Mumps and Rubella, and Tetanos. Can all this be done in time before the interview? I am worried that measles would be two shots? Am I wrong? Because if it is two shots, I won't have time to do them before the medical and would have to change my interview date for later.

Any help?

thanks.

I believe that the MMR vacciantion is only one shot as is tetanus. Either way, if you are required to have vaccinations that require more than one shot you are generally okay as long as you have started the series.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I thought that you had to have all of them done when you do green card but that you could just have one done in a series for K1 or K3. Anyway, I shall see. I am trying to get a hold of the doctor.

Good luck to all.

Hi,

MMR is not required for adults, here in Peru we got MMR being a child, Hepatitis B and Tetanus you can get it in any hospital for free ..if your wife is less than 27 years old, she will need HUman Papiloma Virus ....not required for women older than 27...it is the expensive one, because you have to get in a private consultation...

About Varicella, if she got it being a child (almost all peruvians got it) she will show at least one scar, so no problem with this neither.

Tell your wife if she can get her Vaccinations Card or if she can talk with her doctor family to make a new one for her, she should do it....I will do that, just in case...

MMR is not required for adults,

FYI, a little correction - MMR is required for adults.

Ages 18-64

If you were born after 1956 you must show proof of immunization for mumps, measles and German measles

or

An antibody titers blood test showing proof of immunity to MMR (mumps/measles/rubella).

or

You must receive an immunization for MMR.

Oh yes, you right...MMR is required for adults, DPT is not...here in Peru you can find just MR in private consultation... I dont know if hospital are giving it now, there are a lack of vaccines latelly. Conquest maybe your wife got it when hospitals were giving it for free 3 or 4 years ago...
