Vaccinations/ Panel physician appointment

[EdgarVirginia 0]

If I report to the panel physician that I catched Varicella when I was little is it possible to get a waiver from him on this one?? Last month I've done Rubella, Measles, Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids.

Any idea or advice? Thanks

If you've had chicken pox, all you would need is a blood test taken which will prove your immunity. In some cases you can have the chicken pox and it doesn't give you immunity so they need to see that blood test result. I recently had all my immunisations for everything (through work) and I don't blame you for not wanting to be a pin cushion

Get this blood test though your usual Dr to save time. Just take document as proof

I have read- in addition to experiencing it first hand they they will take an oral declaration as proof of having had chicken pox.

But, to be conservative, I'd suggest getting the titers test done. The doctor will just collect some blood from you and do the test.

Great guys, your answers were all very helpful, I might won't need to do it then. Thank you!
