Vaccinations

[mzap 0]

My GP told me they cannot/do not offer the Varicella shot. Can I get this does at a civil surgeon in the states? If that is the case, asking my GP to give me a copy of having received MMR and Tetanus/Diptheria so once I get the Varicella the American physician can approve me for having all required vaccinations?? Will that be enough?

For USA you require:

2 Varicella shots given 30-days apart .. can get at county health dept, personal physician and some Civil Surgeons

2 MMR (Measels-Mumps-Rubella) given 30-days apart

1 Adult Td Tetanus Booster

Tha's all you require.

Bring a copy of the vaccination record (including you childhood vaccination record from your personal physician). But make sure that you get the 2 shots of the MMR!

Good luck!

I received my 2 MMR and 1 Td.

I didn't know Varicella has two shots to it, 30 days apart. Can I send in my AOS application with the vaccination supplement with only 1 of the 2 varicella and send in proof of the completed second one later on once it is given??

If you've had the chicken pox (varicella) as a child, the civil surgeon may waive the varicella shot at his discretion.
