Immunization/Vaccinations

[nitrous_guy 23]

Is there any information on what Vaccinations or immunisation records you need to have, while filing for AOS?

I read that MMR and Tdap are the only ones that are needed for this process, as well as a TB test ( skin test or Xray).

If you have a record of these from your country, will they be enough and how much would it cost for the doctors to fill out the paper work?

Thanks

There is a list (first link) of required vaccinations. It depends on your age (link 2).

The form that the CS needs to complete is I-693.

Thanks VanessaTony.

Seeing from that list, there is more than MMR and Td/Tdap vacciness needed for adults over 26+ yrs old.

Maybe I read wrong that the above two were only needed for adults :/

It's often true that those two are the only two vaccinations needed, since a history of varicella (chickenpox and shingles) usually means you have immunity, and flu vaccine is only required during flu season (basically winter plus a month or two either side). The others in that table are only recommended if other risk factors are present.

I suggest you go to the doctor and ask them. It has to do with your medical history and lots of other factors. No one here can examine you.

Best to just go ask the doctor.

I am a 31 year old Australian and the only record of vaccines I had was for MMR. The doctor took some blood and gave me the TB test and I was good to go.

I had no copy of my vaccination history from the UK, my Civil Surgeon spotted Varicella scar, and said I would need TB test, Blood test, Tdap, MMR and Flu Shot. Got Tdap from my GP and the MMR and Flu at Wallgreens and was good to go.
