[Catiane 0]

Hi!

I would like to know which vaccines I should have to take for my age... I am 34 years old, I lost my vaccination records, I know I will have to go to a health center to get a new one, my son lost his vaccination records too and he is 13 years, he will go with the me o USA, I would like to know which vaccines he should take too.

Thank you so much!

You really should try to find the records, or contact the physician that administered them. Otherwise you and your son will have to do them all again.

the list is here, your son will probably have to get quite a few

I suggest go to the regional thread, you can get a better answer: Brazil

This is incorrect. A titre test will give them all the information they need.

Agreed with Yakad that the OP should ask in the Regional Forum. In fact, I will move this thread over there now.

Olá!

Eu estou aplicando o K1 e gostaria de saber quais vacinas devo tomar pra minha idade, eu tenho 34 anos.

Meu filho também irá comigo pra os USA e ele tem 13 anos, eu e meu filho perdemos nosso cartão de vacina, alguém me ajude por favor?!

Obrigada!

You will need Polio,TDAP, MMR and Varicella in case you haven't had Chicken Pox. For your kid they might require MCV(Meningococal), Hepaptitis A and B. It is always wise to tell the nurse that you need them for a visa and they will know. Sometimes when you get them before the medical exam you can get them cheaper. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!

I think that I will go to the doctor first, before I take them, maybe he will help me.

Hello

This may or may not help you, but I believe this will at least guide you in the right direction.

This link should at least inform you of what is required by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Good luck.

-> 2 doses of the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccination -- aka, Tríplice viral (according to wikipedia, anyway, my medical Portuguese is limited to asking the pharmacist for over-the-counter things!)

-> 2 doses of the Varicella ('chickenpox') vaccation if you have not had chicken pox -- aka, Varicela / catapora

-> a recent (within the last 10 years) booster of the Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (whooping cough) (TDP/TDaP) -- aka, DTP or Tríplice Bacteriana

My husband got the MMR & TDP (plus a swine flu and regular flu vaccination) at a local health clinic before his medical in Rio -- he didn't need the varicella vaccination as he had had chickenpox as a child.

You're welcome! Good luck with everything. I forgot to tell you it is required to have 2 doses for MMR(Trple Viral) make sure you have the record marked as MMR and 2 doses for Varicella.
