Missing shot records? Juarez medical

[Track13 35]

My fiancé has his K-1 medical exam on March 8 with interview on March 10. We are worried about how he has been unable to locate his childhood shot records. He only has proof of a recent tetanus and flu shot. Is he going to have to pay to get every childhood shot simply because he can't find his shot records? We are trying to figure out how much this will cost for us. Please help.

Track13 This is the web-link for the Clinica Medica Internacional in Ciudad Juarez, one of the Consulate authorized facilities for the medical examination, with the cost broken out = http://clinicamedicainternacional.com.mx/en/vacunas/#more-406.

Right, we know the costs of the vaccines themselves, what we are trying to figure out is if they are going to make him get ALL of them even back to the baby shots because he doesn't have shot records on him. ?

Does he have a family doctor or family clinic who could reconstruct the vaccination records?

We are on the same boat!

my parents lost my cartilla de vacunación. You can get it again in the hospital were you got them, but there is no registry across the country of course, and mine would be located in Tamaulipas, and I live super far away. yay *sarcasm*

 

What I did was start getting the vaccines  ( I needed some for work anyway like Hepatitis and tetanus) and asked the doctor to write down that I had varicella when I was a kid. Maybe like Tbone said, you can get a doctor to say that you've had those vaccines applied by creating a new record. They might accept it or not, but it's worth a ''shot'' get it? get it? okay sorry. Moving on. 

 

I know how frustrating this can be, since having to get childhood vaccines seems excessive, and expensive!

from what I've read they only give you a few they deem necessary, but once you're in the U.S you have to get more.

It turned out to be ok! They just made him get chicken pox and MMR because those were the "age appropriate" shots for him. We were approved!

Track 13. Can you please tell me as we are totally confused. My husband has his interview 4-17. We have his Med scheduled. He has no vaccination record. We received a list from our lawyer and from the Medical office in Juarez but it seems pretty extensive. did he have any record of previous vaccines?  When did you go there?

Hi Ruffant!

 

We were SO CONFUSED about this as well. We tried obtaining his childhood shot records but his doctor from his childhood retired and was nowhere to be found! Call the medical clinic. They were helpful and said that he would just need the shots appropriate for his age bracket (the adult shots). Vaccinations are not required for K1 visa, but are for residency, so he went ahead and got the 2 shots they recommended. They then gave him a form with his shots that we believe will be valid for AOS. It says it expires in Sept. 2017 so we think it is usable. I guess we will know more once we file for AOS, if they make us go back for all the Hepatitis shots or not.

Thank you

My spouse was in the same predicament, his parents had kept no documentation and/or 'cartella de Vacunacions'.  So our local MD General Practitioner suggested and recommended that he go to out local Centro de Salud and inquire as to whether he could obtain the required shots there.  Bingo!  We printed for the CDC website [en espanol] the list of mandatory immunization vaccinations required. and he received then there over a 5 week period for a very nominal fee.  He'll likewise take a printout of the CDC website listed shots for Immigration Visa applicants so that the CDJ clinic does not coerce him into paying for additional unnecessary vaccinations!   This is the CDC web-link information page.  We fly early GDL-CJS tomorrow, with the medical scheduled for 8:30AM Tuesday, and Biometrics appointment at 1:30PM, and a 7:15AM Wednesday Immigration Visa interview.  We are well prepared, thinking positively, and hopeful for a successful results!  Buen suerte todos.

tab4748 mil gracias! We arrived CJS this morning, got settled in at the La Quinta Inn & Suites, and are focused on his 8:30AM medical appointment at Clinica Medica Internacional, and Biometrics at 1:30PM tomorrow.  Earlier today scouted out area, and spent time at a Plaza Los Missiones, in area across from the Consulate.  Hit a special Benito Juarez nacional holiday sale at Liverpool, and a couple others stores.  We'll report back on the medical experience. Hasta pronto!
