Immunizations for Medical Exam

[PMartin37 161]

I was curious about immunizations required for immigration. After looking over the list of required vaccinations and discussing with my hub, I'm afraid the poor man is going to need ALL of them I advised him that he can go to his primary doctor to get the immunizations and make sure he receives a record of them. I was actually worried about him having ALL of those shots at one time at the date of the exam. I was also afraid that he might get sick (as some people do- especially if the flu vaccine is needed) not to mention SORE arms! Anyways, my question is...did I advise him correctly? My understanding is that they need documentation of the vacs having been done- perhaps within 2 months or so of the med. exam.

This is what the CDC website has listed on their fact sheet

Current Vaccination Requirements

Current immigration law requires that immigrants have proof of vaccination against―

Mumps

Measles

Rubella

Tetanus and diphtheria

Meningococcal disease

Pneumococcal disease

Haemophilus influenzae type B

Rotavirus

Varicella Influenza

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Pertussis

Polio

(Hib)

Note: As of December 14, 2009 the

human papillomavirus (HPV) and zoster vaccines are not required for immigrants.

I know some of these are given as boosters... Measles/mumps/rubella and Tetanus/Dipth/Pertussis and the flu vaccine is given alone. That's a total of 3 and I'm not sure how the Meningococcal or Pneumococcal is given?? Not to mention Rotavirus? and Varicella?
