Medical Exam Proof of Immunizations

[maisflocon 0]

Hi all, I am applying IR-1 for my wife and we are preparing for the upcoming interview.

The Medical Exam requires that we bring written proof of the exact date the beneficiary was immunized for the vaccines required (including Varicella). Where would I get such information?

Do we have to redo all vaccinations? There seems to be a ton of them.

It also asks for medical records, which we don't have either. Did you bring your medical records to your medical exam?

Is there anything else we should be aware of before going to the medical exam? (I know we need to bring passport, letter, photos, bank drafts and immunization proofs)

If you don't have record of your vaccinations - have a titer test done. It will test all immunities and levels of those immunities and that is sufficient.

While the list is gigantic, it should be per age group and ONLY if you need an update.

I did my medical at a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. Not a word English spoken there, except for the MD himself.

I brought nothing, told him that I vaguely remember having received vaccinations when I was a child and that I'm anti-vaccinations in general. I also told him that I pay cash and that time was money, my money.

He checked my blood for antibodies which determined what vaccinations I already had, and injected me only with those vaccines that were absolutely required by the Immigration machine. Due to my age, it was at the MD's discretion to determine that I wouldn't need them all.

Even in its most simple form, the whole thing is no fun, and it took me three visits to get signed off.

Are you sure she doesn't have any shot records?

Ask her if she has a 'yellow book' - an international record of shots , done in China.

This is for Canada, not China.

Yup, and his wife immigrated from China to Canada.. There's a SLIGHT chance she'll have the yellow book..
