DS-261 vaccinations??

[Givemegoodnews 9]

There is a question on the DS-261 that asks if the beneficiary has documentation of vaccinations in accordance with US law.

If I select no, it asks for an explanation. And we cant say Yes because im sure we don't have all the vaccinations complete yet.

I thought we don't deal with this until the panel physician exam??

I entered no in my wife's and put the comment that we would discuss vaccination requirements at the medical exam.

Excellent ,

that seems to be the only option I guess,

I hope it wont cause us issues, you would think they wouldn't ask this question before the medical exam.

First off, it's the D-260 that asks this, not the DS-261. Two very different forms.

And this is what I put for mine (I chose yes): "I HAVE HAD A VACCINATION RECORD SINCE I WAS BORN WITH ALL THE REQUIRED VACCINATIONS CLEARLY RECORDED BY A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL."

So either choose yes or no, depending on your case, and explain why you chose it.

Please keep in mind, this question has nothing to do with the medical exam. It's simply asking if you have documentation for any vaccinations you might have had.
