Hi everyone,

My wife just went through the medical examination in Singapore. When we informed the doctor that she is still nursing our baby, the doctor advised against the MMR and DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) shots. The flu vaccine was administered.

When we asked the doctor if it will affect the embassy interview, he said the embassy will make a decision.

Anybody have similar experiences? Should we be worried?

We hope it won't delay the process. Our embassy interview is coming up next week.

Any recommendations, advice, suggestions?

Thank you!

If the doctor thought it not advisable or not medically appropriate, then he should have marked the column "contraindicated" beside the shots on her vaccination worksheet. With that marked, she should be given a blanket waiver for the shots by the consulate officer. They normally would not get into medical decisions like "oh, I think it would have been fine to take the shots". That's why they contract out those decisions to medical professionals. So if the doctor signed off that it was "contraindicated" , the consulate would typically go with his professional opinion and give the waiver.
