Vaccination requeriments for Ciudad Juarez Mexico

[Sheyla 0]

Im checking the list the of vaccines required for Ciudad Jaurez, but the list is pretty long.

Question: if i havent get any vaccines lately, do the medical in ciudad juarez make you get ALL the vaccines listed ???

I know i got in my country the mandatory government vaccines when i was a kid but i dont know where my kid´s vaccines records are now. Im pretty healthy but I know I will have to get some vaccines and I would like to go ahead and start getting the vaccines here so when i go to the medical check they wont make me get all the shots together ( ouch!)

Can anyone please share which vaccines the medical check in Ciudad Juarez usually make us get??

Thank you very much!.

Hi Sheyla,

It depends on which visa you will be interviewing for in Ciudad Juarez. Other members may explain, or if you go to the K-3 threads, you may understand that it's more likely that they process you as an IR-1/CR-1. Was your I-130 approved at the same time as your I-129F? And you posted this in the CR-1/IR-1 forum so it's even more confusing...I don't know about K-3s, but I know K-1s don't need their vaccines until AOS in the US.

An IR-1/CR-1 case usually only gets a few vaccines in Ciudad Juarez. By spending a lot of time researching on the internet, I have found out that most men (I didn't research women) get 3 vaccines:

Tdap $56

MMR $40

Varicela (Chicken Pox) $56

Total: $152 + the cost of the medical + 10% IVA/VAT tax

A lot of people post their medical exam experiences in Ciudad Juarez at this forum: www.smf.juarez-mexico.com if you want to look for more details and see if there are any differences for women.

I would definitely NOT recommend getting the vaccines before the medical, especially, when as I said, you will probably only get 3. I have heard of many stories of people coming to the medical exam with recent vaccine records and still getting those exact 3. They really don't care if they double dose you after a recent vaccine and what effects that might have. I have never heard of anyone who was living in Mexico (eg not living in the US before the CJ interview) getting them to consider their vaccine records valid. I have only heard of a few cases where the people had recent records from the US which the nurses? accepted. I recommend you read the website I suggested to get a sense of what they do at the interviews and medical exams.

Good luck!
