more vaccination shots

[ANJING 0]

We were told by the county health dept that we needed to complete the shots done in China by getting one more shot for Chicken Pox and MMR each and two more TD shots. Are they really necessary?

Thanks.

For immigration purposes? Only the CS can tell you that for sure....

For overall immunized health, you went there for there opinion, you can either accept it or get a second one......

I did not go to any civil surgeon here, I had my medical and vaccines in my country, I only submitted DS 3025 I will just let the USCIS figured out if I need additional vaccine then that's the time I have to.So far no RFE yet, I guess to early to say.

By necessary, if you mean do you need them to complete your I-693, then the answer is probably yes (see below). You would definitely need to talk to a Civil Surgeon to see if your shot series is complete. It doesn't look you've already submitted a paper that based on religious grounds or something that you don't want them as you've already had at least one round.

David needed his 2nd round of MMR to be in compliance. And his medical was done before June 1st without the new vaccine requirements.

Here's some info on new vaccine requirements.

When was your medical? Here's info from the above site in regards to the new requirements.

Date of Medical Exam

Do I have to submit the revised Form I-693?

Does the medical exam have to be done in accordance with the new TB requirements?

Do I have to receive the new vaccines (if age appropriate?)

Before June 1, 2008

On or after Aug. 1, 2008

Yes

Based on your timeline, it looks like the medical was done in June, therefore you do not need the new vaccines... I know that the MMR is from the original vaccine list, but I'm not sure about the other ones. Just wanted to throw the info out just in case one of the ones that you mentioned was on the new list.

Technically one needs to submit the I-693. Some people are receiving RFEs for not submitting it and some are not.

The I-693 forms were revised on 06/05/08. New info. Directions to the new I-693 link below.

Here's the form itself.

Don't let the CS fool you though... you do not need a new physical. I paid $25 for the transcription (and that included a fax to them to see what else he needed to be in compliance with the vaccine requirements).
