Help! Vaccine not availabe in Fiance's country

[PositiveVibes 1]

First, we have the visa. We got it about a month ago and my fiance was given vaccinations at the medical exam in Barbados (where his consulate is) before the interview. But, he was told he has to get two more vaccinations (TD and Varicella) a month from then (which is now in his country, Antigua) and then another one six months from the original date (which would be when he is in the US).

Our problem is that he has been told from every clinic he called in Antigua that they do not have the varicella vaccine. What do we do??? Going back to Barbados is not really convenient nor cheap to do just to get a vaccine.

Anyone have a similar experience or have any advice?

If you have the visa and your in the US - just get the vaccinations here, have a CS fill out the 693 part for vaccinations and go from there.

If you've already received your K-1 visa then you do not need to obtain any more vaccinations at this time. Vaccinations MUST be current at the time of AOS but if your fiancee's visa was approved with just the first course of vaccines then he will be fine at the POE.

As a note: Vacinations won't bve covered under your health insurance when he arrives here, and they're expensive...

I guess i am confused, yes we have the visa, but he was told he needed to follow up with these three other vaccinations. He is not in the US yet, he will be here in April. So, we should have no problems if he comes without these follow-up vaccinations, as long as he gets them here (which I guess will be expensive).??

Ok, I think I understand. He should be fine in April, when he comes at POE, we will just have to have the follow-up doses of the vaccines complete for his AOS.
