Hello fellow VJ'rs.

For the other Canadians moving to US - apparently Canada has NO vaccination record repository, so I cannot get a list of what I have been innoculated for, and my parents did not keep the records, not surprisingly. (I am over 50, so......LOL)

Does anyone have a link to a page that shows what vaccinations we need?? My doctor will order blood titre tests once I can provide her a list.

I assume we need to have that proof BEFORE the medical exam, if I understand correctly?

Thanks to all!

Namaste.

:goofy:

Dr. Cheema, the panel physician in Vancouver has a very clear list on his website of vaccinations you'll need. It's not much if you're over 50. I just got a TDap and verbally confirmed that I'd had chickenpox as a kid.

Also remember that if you get your vaccinations prior to the medical, you won't pay as health care covers those shots you might need. Whereas I understand you'll get charged for them at the medical for immigration.

So get your doctor's blood test results and update some shots if you can:)

I asked the same question and somebody helped out a lot:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/481640-vaccinations/?p=6832503

I also talked to a nurse at my university health clinic and he said I'd only need MMR (already had), Tdap booster, and Varicella since I've never had it. Hope this helps!

I am the beneficiary.
