Vaccinations

[christeen 966]

I was just referring to what ao cons said about women beneficiaries getting a pregnancy test before the medical -- I was wondering why that is necessary?

Because there are many tests, x-rays and vaccinations that are not recommended during pregnancy and they need to be sure that you are not pregnant....

Alrighty, that makes sense.

So I took a look at the list of vaccinations -- do I really need all of the following?

Influenza

Pneumococcal

Rotovirus

Zoster

Varicella

HPV

Meningococcal (I took this in 2005 -- do I need to take it again?)

UGH. I hate needles.

Thank you, The immunization record should still be submitted though right? Even if they do the teter test?

I did not have any vaccination records so I had my MD do titre tests for everything required for my age group. I brought copies of the laboratory reports to my medical showing I was immune and that was fine. Good luck.

This clears me out, I have no records of my immunization as well. I hope Titer test will do.

The titre tests are sufficient if they show you have immunity. Good luck.
