So, just by blood test they will be able to see what vaccines they need and don't need? I was wondering about this or how they would decide what is needed without any past documentation for those who can't get it. I heard it was very costly too. I may have to look into this to do here before we go abroad.

The only way to be absolutely certain about what vaccinations you’ve received is to gather your medical records—from childhood, from high school, and from adulthood. Contact your current and former doctors and request your immunization records; your current doctor can help you determine whether or not you’re up to date.

If you can’t remember all of your past doctors, however, or if your records are unavailable for some reason, there are still a few steps you can take to determine your vaccination status.

Testing for Immunity

For certain diseases, your doctor can perform a test for evidence of immunity, whether from a prior vaccination or an infection. In the case of varicella (chickenpox), for example, a blood test can show whether or not you’re immune to the disease. Alternatively, if a health care provider can verify that you had previously been diagnosed with chickenpox, you don’t need to worry about receiving the chickenpox vaccine: that prior infection will provide immunity.

One test that is frequently performed for women who are planning to become pregnant is the test for rubella immunity. A rubella infection in a pregnant woman can lead to congenital rubella syndrome in her child—an infection that can cause severe developmental abnormalities and death. As such, women who plan to become pregnant may be tested for immunity to rubella and vaccinated against it if necessary. (Rubella vaccination is contraindicated after a woman has become pregnant.)

A blood test should show the vaccines you have (or don't have) in your system.. contact your medical exam office and confirm what is needed and the process. 

 

You may have had a vaccine in the past but need it again.. the blood work would see that.. 

Thanks!

hi @amistry18

 

I remember you had a change in address, after you sent out your documents. Am I right? Can you tell me if that would reset the 11 week timer? Did you get it confirmed with the NVC? Any info in this regard would be great!

 

Thanks

@chamma, You're right. I did a change in address and confirmed that it didn't reset the 11 week timer

 

Also, about our previous conversation, I made sure with my wife that she doesn't have any vaccination records on her. But her parents took care of her all vaccines when she was a child. Now, what do you recommend me doing in this situation?

Call the medical doctor that you need to visit. Your blood test should work. Just my opinion. But call them to confirm.

Any new Feb case completed today?

There are two types of expedites at NVC.  One is where NVC agrees to expedite and immediately sends all of the documents to the Embassy in the foreign country bypassing their up to 11 week review process.  The second type of expedite (which is what I have) is that the foreign country agrees to expedite the interview process after NVC finishes its review (currently around 11 weeks)

 

 

(Five weeks this Friday)
