I had my medical exam yesterday and the civil surgeon required me to get the H1N1 vaccine! I didn't wanna do it but he said it's required! Is it really? Until now, I am still not happy that I had it. :-(

According to the CDC website, these are the only shots needed:

What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration?

At this time,* vaccines for these diseases are currently required for U.S. immigration:

•Mumps

•Measles

•Rubella

•Polio

•Tetanus and diphtheria

•Pertussis

•Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

•Hepatitis A

•Hepatitis B

•Rotavirus

•Meningococcal disease

•Varicella

•Pneumococcal disease

•Seasonal influenza

*On December 14, 2009, the human papillomavirus (HPV) and zoster vaccines were removed from the list of required vaccines for immigrant applicants. All other vaccinations on this list remain.

Any future vaccines recommended by ACIP for the general U.S. public will be subject to the new vaccination criteria. If the recommended vaccines fit the new criteria, they will be added to the list of required vaccines for immigrant applicants.

CBC even stated this.

In addition to what Bobby+Unit said, the seasonal fly shot in the list of required vaccines is only needed if you are above 60, I think.
