Do we need a shot record?

[lrock1111 0]

So....I might be jumping the gun, put am just trying to be prepared. My fiance & I sent in our I-129 packet in May and are still waiting for the NOA2. However, I was reading about the AOS and the VJ website says that for the biometrics appointment

" It would be wise to collect their vaccination information before going to the appointment as the doctor will need to have record of them. At the appointment your spouse will be tested for TB, AIDS and Syphilis "

I let my fiance know & he doesn't remember ever having a shot record in Ireland. Is this something that is absolutely necessary? Does anyone know where one could obtain an Irish shot record?

Thanks in advance & best of luck!

Claudeth didn't have any vaccination record when she did her interview. They gave her the MMR vaccination and a copy of the DS3025. She had to have a tetanus shot when we did the supplemental because they didn't have that vaccine at the hospital where she did her physical.

Here is a link that will be useful to you.

Immunization records can be obtained from the local Health Center or other place in Ireland where your fiance had his immunizations done through childhood. I tried to get a record of mine however and was told after 25 years they no longer kept a copy at the Health Center where mine were done. If he contacts the place where his immunizations were done, they will either have them there, or refer him to where they have been forwarded on to. Hope this helps.

I also had to obtain vaccination records from Ireland.

I got a vaccination record for my Measles/Mumps/Rubella from the Southern Health Board in Ireland - this was in the form of a consent form signed by my mother and where the "for offical use only" was completed and signed by the doctor in question. Then I received my record of polio vaccination, from my childhood GP. I had a tetatnus vaccination and some other vaccinations done prior to a trip to the Caribbean (where I met my American husband) and these were recorded in an International Certificate of Vaccination from the Tropical Medical Bureau in Dublin.

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

you could also get titre blood tests done to see what your fiance is immunized for already

and then just get the shots that are lacking
