VACCINATION DOCUMENTATION for CR1 Visa

[shoshweetygaff 0]

Ok....my husband did the medical exam. The doctor sent him to another doctor for extra lab work and it cost more than they said. But it's ok. The main thing I'm questioning is the Vaccination record. He didn't have one from when he was a child. Although he told them he did some of them, he didnt have a piece of paper to say. They ended up giving him the Td, MMR and that's it.

I'm worried on the bottom of the worksheet it says Results: Vaccine history incomplete, applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate. And in the worksheet it says not age appropriate for several, the DT, DTP, Polio, Hib, Hep B, Varicella, Pnemonoccoal, Influenza.

So what is this blanket waiver? Do I need to have him do it before he goes for the interview?

Help.....

THe vaccination requirements change depending on the age of the applicant...

For individuals between the ages of 19 to 50, only MMR, Td are required.

Nothing needs to be done by you... it is automatically done by the CO...

I guess I disagree with the only two items listed as needed... Varicella (chicken pox--CP) is another one.

this shown in the previously supplied link, as well as this :

If it were me, I'd be inclined to ask the CS why they annoted this... If it was because of lack of proof of CP, this can be verified with a blood test... Yes, another expense but would clear it up if this is the issue.

Varicella vaccine is not available in many countries.... If it cannot be administered, it is not required...

Varicella is for Chicken Pox. I talked to the people at the Embassy and they said this is normal for this waiver because of his age. Most of the shots are for children, and if he doesnt have any proof that he had the shot, at his age it doesnt matter. So I feel better now.
