Hi everyone -

Is there a list somewhere that states the vaccines required when applying for AOS? My fiance got all of his in Malawi when we applied for the visa, but I'm not sure if some of them might need a booster or not, and if so I think it'd be cheaper to do the boosters in Malawi before we leave.

Some do require a booster but there needs to be a passage of time before they are given. One way to do it cheaper in the USA is to use your local county clinic. We had mine ( 3 ) done for 23 bucks. Our daughter needed 9 shots for school & those were done free. This may not be the same where you live but its worth a try.

If he got at least one shot of a series, then that's enough for AOS as long as he had them within the last 10 years and they are marked on the visa medical. Baby shots (over 10 years ago) would need boosters to be current for AOS. If he goes to a civil surgeon after arriving in the US, they might say enough time has passed to get another shot in a series before they will sign the paper. But if everything is documented properly on the DS3025 vaccination sheet from the visa exam, there is no need to see a civil surgeon or get more than the first shot of a series.

Here is a post listing the required immunizations. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/101202-faqs-forms-i-693-and-ds-3025/page__view__findpost__p__4300319
