vaccination record

[thermophile 0]

I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but I'm (USC) in Canada right now and would like to help my husband prep as much of the immigration process as possible. His only vaccination record shows a tetnus shot and Hep A&B 4 years ago, but nothing from his school days. I'm wondering what people's experience is getting titers in calgary? He's 45, so I think that he just needs MRPP, since he can show that he is up to date on tetnus. Is that correct?

I'm sure all the specifics will be sent to him in one of the packets from Montreal, but he gets stressed out when he has to do something unfamiluar (one of those quirks that's kind of adorable while dating). Actually, if anyone has done the medical exam in Calgary and would care to share the experience that's be great too. If I can give him an idea of what to expect, he'll be much calmer about the whole process which will lead to fewer long distance arguments. Since it's my school and career that is forcing us to leave Canada for the next few years, I feel like I should aleviate as much pain and stress as possible.

thanks

opps, I just saw that my records question was answered yesterday. So, if anyone has Calgary specific experience that'd be great, like where to go or not go.

I had no records of anything ever done to me those kind of things wre not always kept. I was in Alberta and all I did was went to the local health unit and got "all" the shots I needed and they gave me a small vaccination card with shots on it no problems

if you aren't sure if he had the MMR shots just get your doctor to do a antibody titre test.... they just take some of your blood and run a test on it... they can check for ruebella and chicken pox...

saves you from having to get the vaccinations all over again...

yep, best thing to do is just have blood drawn for the titre tests. There is absolutely no good reason to have the shots again if you had them as a child (and pretty much any Canadian who went to school would have had to have any and all shots already)
