Did you send an I-693 to USCIS with your I-485? If so you should be fine.

If you look at the whole document, you will see footnotes about the different vaccines. From p. 4 you will see reasons why one would need the two Hepatitis vaccinations. See if you fit in any of the scenarios. Like are you having sex with someone who has Hepatitis? Do you work in a lab with the Hep A virus? Do you have chronic liver disease? If you don't fit into any of the reasons, then no you don't have to get it.

9. Hepatitis A vaccination

Medical indications: Persons with chronic liver disease and persons who receive clotting factor concentrates.

Behavioral indications: Men who have sex with men and persons who use illegal drugs.

Occupational indications: Persons working with hepatitis A virus (HAV)–infected primates or with HAV in a research laboratory setting.

Other indications: Persons traveling to or working in countries that have high or intermediate endemicity of hepatitis A (a list of countries is available at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/contentdiseases.aspx) and any person seeking protection from HAV infection.

Single-antigen vaccine formulations should be administered in a 2-dose schedule at either 0 and 6–12 months (Havrix®), or 0 and 6–18 months (Vaqta®). If the combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine (Twinrix®) is used, administer 3 doses at 0, 1, and 6 months; alternatively, a 4-dose schedule, administered on days 0, 7, and 21 to 30 followed by a booster dose at month 12 may be used.

10. Hepatitis B vaccination

Medical indications: Persons with end-stage renal disease, including patients receiving hemodialysis; persons with HIV infection; and persons with chronic liver disease.

Occupational indications: Health-care personnel and public-safety workers who are exposed to blood or other potentially infectious body fluids.

Behavioral indications: Sexually active persons who are not in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship (e.g., persons with more than 1 sex partner during the previous 6 months); persons seeking evaluation or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease (STD);current or recent injection-drug users; and men who have sex with men.

Other indications: Household contacts and sex partners of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection; clients and staff members of institutions for persons with developmental disabilities; international travelers to countries with high or intermediate prevalence of chronic HBV infection (a list of countries is available at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/contentdiseases.aspx); and any adult seeking protection from HBV infection.

i got it...but im pertaining to IF USCIS is requiring it, i know its mandatory for each qualified person whos under the indications but my question is in relation to filing for the aos.

e.g. can i get the vaccine even after aos interview or after i receive the green card?

You have to verify the vaccination sheet you received from SLEC. All incomplete vaccinations are indicated there.

The CS will tell you what additional vaccinations you need to have based on the DS-3025 that you give him. If he already did your I-693, then I think there's no problem.

Just in case the CS overlooked one and the USCIS sees it, they will send you an RFE. I was glad they did notice that I had no TB Skin Test on my I-693. .

Does this means you didnt submit I-693?

[elw092 0]

Oh yes sorry you had I 693...I just had this issue that me and my husband are not aware of the I 693 form needed to be in AOS application. Now I am worried because we already submit AOS without I 693 just vaccination supplement from my origin. Anyone who has advice I kindly appreciate it.
