COVID19 requirement

[JanettRod 10]

Hello. Please I need help ASAP!!

 

My husband got his appointment letter for Nov 22, 2021. 
my husband does not have the vaccine. We were holding off because we were really worried it will affect his sickeness. My husband has kidney disease as well as a hereditary disease. We really didn’t want him to get vaccinated for personal reasons. Simply because we don’t want his kidneys to be affected which can- we have heard cases. 
Now, we’re rushing to figure this out. Otherwise his medical exam won’t pass causing his visa to be denied. 
 

At this point we’re rushing to figure out which vaccine will get him approved by the medical examiner in Ciudad Juarez. 
And does he be need to complete the serious or shots before his exam? 
I’m sorry if my questions are everywhere but we are now limited on time and we’ve waited for this for 7 years since started this and now we’re here. 

Please help!!!

Hello, I would contact the panel physician.  They should be able to determine if the vaccine poses a risk due to his condition(s) and therefore if he can be exempt. 

 

From a few medical websites including the national kidney foundation, it seems the vaccine is recommended for dialysis and even transplant patients.

Actually, they recommend the booster those for people in that group, especially those taking immunosuppressants after transplants.

 

On the other hand, getting the covid disease poses a higher risk of serious illness for those with kidney diseases.

Yeah we spoke to them today and that’s exactly what they said. At this point our only option is Johnson&Johnson since it’s single does

Ok...

 

Due to his health condition and medical community recommendations, please check into booster shots after he arrives in the US.  

 

Good luck!

I am on immunosuppressant drugs(Methotrexate and Enbrel) and an anti-rejection drug(Cellcept) for lupus and I received the Pfizer vaccine plus 2 boosters(for a total of 3 vaccines) and I had zero side effects.

My 86 year old Mom, who is in an early stage of renal failure and has had a replacement heart valve, has had 3 doses of the Pfizer vaccine...... No adverse side effects.

I’m very glad for that. Thank you for sharing. 
He got vaccinated yesterday since we are short on time. Interview is Nov 22. The pfizer I believe is a two dose.

You do know you have to wait 3 weeks before you get the second dose. which means they will put your case on hold. And if you take the dose or he takes the dose before time they wont validate the second one

Which is why we had him do the janssen one. It’s a single dose.

If you join one of the facebook groups for Juarez you'll see people talking about this.

People who haven't completed the vaccine regimen get a blue slip.
