Vaccination Question

[Ana&D 0]

Addition of HPV to the required vaccination list has been discussed already, so sorry if my inquiry is a repetition. I have a question to recent AOS filers. Do we have to get a full course (three shots) or is one shot good enough to file for adjustment? And what is the cost if getting it in the U.S.. I read on the official Gardasil website it is $120, but what was your experience? Am trying to prepare to AOS ahead of time, lol . Thanks for the replies! Edited June 21, 2008 by Ana&D

The HPV vaccination is made up of three courses of the vaccination, as you stated.

Check out CDC's Technical Instructions to Civil Surgeons for Vaccination Requirements, specifically page 9.

Completing “3. Results”.

After reviewing entries in “2. Immunization Record” for all the vaccines, only one appropriate box under “3. Results” must be checked.

• Vaccine history complete for each vaccine.

  If the applicant has met vaccination requirements for each vaccine recommended, the “Vaccine history complete for each vaccine, all requirements met” box must be checked; however, this will probably not occur.

• Vaccination history incomplete - Applicant may be eligible for blanket waivers(s).

  Completion of a vaccine series is not required to conclude the medical examination because such a requirement would require multiple visits to a civil surgeon and could lead to unnecessary delay in the adjustment of status application process. If any of the boxes under the “Not Medically Appropriate” heading was checked, the “Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) as indicated above” box must be checked. This will probably always be checked because some vaccines may not be age appropriate for the applicant, unless he or she requests a waiver based on religious or moral convictions or refuses vaccination.

You don't have to wait until you've completed the series of vaccinations, you just have to have started them.
