Vaccinations BEFORE medical

[leslie08 0]

Hi, I got this from one of the links made by a K1 applicant from our country. Here is the link for your reference.

And to quote her:

"Done with the vaccinations after 11 minutes. I got 4 just like what the doctor told me on my 1st day of examination. I got TDap, Hepa B, Flu, MMR

I was given this pre and post vaccination notice/precautions

The nurse kept my receipt then instructed me to go to the ground floor to get my results

The vaccination shot doesn't hurt when the nurse administered those to me except the Hepa B which was painful.. then the after effect of the hepa B vaccine and the other 1 that I couldn't identify which, is still a bit painful after 20 hours as of now.

So I got 2 shots on my left and right arm"

Thank you... =)

How will you know what vaccines he needs. Remember this is a place that is part of the immigration process and I would not go anywhere else to get vaccinated if it's not there. You don't want to pay money twice. and if you go outside I'm sure those vaccinations will not be in the documentation with the medical exam. Also with the I129f petition it is an obtion to get vaccinated not required since he is coming with a visa not a green card.

You don't have to get the shots at the civil surgeon, you can get it at your family doctor no problem...Just have a vaccination card with you... The vaccinations WILL be in the documentation with the medical exam. I did the same thing. And if he doesn't get the vaccinations before recieving the visa, he will have to get them over here for much more money to adjust status. So your suggestions are completely wrong.

What vaccines are need? Thank you =)

All that was required from me was Tetanus, MMR and Flu.

I also had to get blood test for Varicella and Syphilis and skin test for Tuberkulosis. They were all negative so no need for any extra shots..

Most of the other vaccinations were not age appropriate for me.

I believe you can get that done prior. Keep in mind there are vaccines that are needed every few months. Like the flu needs to be yearly. Hmmm maybe that's just it. Just make sure records are brought during the medical for the visa.

That's what i'm planning to do since i pretty much have all my vaccines done.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the cost of the vaccines is already included in the medical fee. And the doctor will only give you the vaccines they deem necessary upon checking you and your history. So there's no need to get vaccinated ahead of time, saving you money and excess needle sticks.
