Currently, immigration law requires that immigrants have proof of vaccination against―

* Mumps

* Measles

* Rubella

* Polio

* Tetanus and diphtheria

* Pertussis

* Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

* Hepatitis B

* Any other vaccinations recommended by CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

Unfortunately, that right there is the kicker. As of right now, Gardasil is on the recommendations list for our age group by CDC's ACIP.

However, for anyone wondering (as I myself am paying close attention to the outcome), there has been a rumour running about that CDC is going to be publishing a new set of criteria soon that leads to vaccinations finding a spot on that list. Whether or not that'll lead to good news... hard to say. Interesting to watch for, at least.

Mentioned most recently on ABC News: Roadblock to U.S. Citizenship for Immigrants.

The CDC is expected to publish new criteria to determine which vaccines should be recommended for U.S. immigrants in about a month, according to spokeswoman Christine Pearson.

I know the thread is a couple of days old, but I figured I'd add the information for those interested, at least.

Well, Im still watching it closely. My girl wont take it, for all the reasons Im sure you lady's dont want to either, but the link you just posted said the FDA was putting out a new list next month. That was dated Sep 11th, and its the 13th now. So anyone with a keen eye for research let us know if you find anything.

Right now, my girl is 25 and she went to her family doctor and was strongly advised because of her age (26 next month) not to take it.

If the doctor writes a certificate stating this, is she still going to have to take it to get the visa?

I don't believe she's able to bypass the vaccine by way of age until 27, if I'm not mistaken. So that wouldn't help her.

I found the latest from the CDC.

Please take a look at this thread I started.
