AOS from k1 - vaccines needed

[Sarahnick 19]

Which are the vaccines needed when it comes to AOS?

*want to make sure I get them done before leaving sweden.

I think your immigration doctor knows it better.

Depends on the ones you have or don't. Immigration doctor will know since you need to show the medical exam at the interview.

Yeah, precisly. I'm a little curious as to the hep a and b, I don't have those or have plans on getting those. Do I need them? Did you?

Also, I have had chicken pox and shingles as a kid but not sure if there are any documents proving this.

I sent the swedish doctor office an email and they said my vaccines need to be within the last 10yrs (wich I'm sure I've passed) does this mean I need to re do these? Did u have to?

1. hep a and b: not age appropriate, no need

2. Chicken Pox you don't have to prove anything, oral confirmation (I committed chickenpox when I was a kid) to your doctor is enough. Make sure she/he marks VH in varicella section.

The most common required vaccinations for adults are: MMR, Tdap, and Varicella. All others are not age appropriate. If during flu season the flu shot would also be required.

Don't rely on the immigration doctor to know what you need. Yes they should know what is required, but I have read some cases where they were clueless and just expected you to get your required shots in the US.

Here is a table of required vaccinations by age: http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/civil/vaccination-civil-technical-instructions.html#tbl1
