Vaccinations requirement List

[Debbie&Dave 0]

Hello

Can anyone tell me where we go to find a list of all the required vaccinations my fiance' is required to have ? He lives in the UK and his GP said to bring a list to him for review and if any are needed.

The US london embassy site was not too helpful...

Thanks Deb

Aww, when I first read the topic, I thought it was VACATION requirements list, and I thought that would be a fun thing to talk about, but you're all business here!!

Anyway, the vaccinations required for the typical adult are TDaP, MMR, Varicella, and (during flu season), flu. Some people have reported that one of those (I think the adult version of TDaP?) isn't available in the UK, but they have gotten the baby versions of it. Also, you can get away with Varicella by getting the date you had chicken pox. Most of the time they just take your word for it. I hear it's really bad for adults, so if you haven't had it, you'd want to get vaccinated anyway - my sister never had it, so she did get vaccinated.

Anyway, hope that helps. Those vaccination tables are difficult! The key is to look down the column JUST for your age, and ignore the rest.

Hello Debbie

Is he comin here on K1 visa? They normally do the medical at the US Embassy for K1 visa holders before issuance of fiance visa and they would determine which vaccine he still needs. If he has vaccination records he should bring it to the medical if not they normally give TDAP, MMR and Varicella if he didnt have history of chicken pox.

Try this link it might help http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5901-Immunization.pdf. This is what I followed, I came here on K1 visa. I didnt have history of my vaccination records so when I did my medical in Philippines they gave me a shot of Tdap and MMR and was advise to get shot of 2nd Tdap in US after 10 years. I didnt have varicella shot since I had chicken pox when I was in high school. I brought in my DS-3025 which was given by US Embassy when I came here in US and have it transcribed to a USCIS surgeon. I was not ask to get any more shot

Hope it helps

I wouldn't advise that he wait until the medical to get the vaccinations completed. If there are any missing, try to get them done through his GP, because it's SUPER expensive to get done at the visa medical, and will save a lot of hassle with AOS if he's all up to date at the time of the visa medical.
