Immunizations

[Julie y Pat 67]

Well, the obvious thing would be for the doctor to just do the medical exam since the other one was done over a year ago and not tell her she needs new vaccines, but the doctors in Colombia are famously known for saying that vaccines that were given less than a month before the medical are too old. We all know is a tactic they use to get more money out of the beneficiary but people have complained about it with them and the embassy and they still do it.

the doctor said the vaccines she got from him last year expire in six months, and she also was told she needed an influenza shot . he also told her some ####### that if she visits Colombia after coming to the US, she will have to get them all over again, before coming back to the US.

It's all a whole bunch of ####### because everyone knows that as soon as you get vaccinated you don't need that vaccine anymore BUT in order for them to get more money they give you that schpill your wife got and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it if you want to get approved for a visa, unfortunately. That's Colombia for ya!

Your body has a record of your immunizations ;-) There is something called an antibody titer test that is available for all of the required vaccinations.

I did hear about that test but I don't think is worth doing it since he has to get the shots anyways. As it was mentioned before colombian doctors like reject vaccines that are over six months old.
