An Interesting commundrum

[thehaunter275 1]

Hi, I'm new to this, so forgive me if I miss something.

So I have applied to live with my American Wife in the USA CR-1- I read in the online guides (and elsewhere) that there would be a medical as part of my interview at the US Embassy.

So...when I was young (late 1980s), I had a "bad reaction" to the MMR Jab, which left me showing signs of autism- of course, the whole "Is It Harmful or Not" debate soon started afterwards, but to this day, medical professional are claiming it was all non-sense and that the jab was completely safe.

I managed to recover over the period of several years, and am pleased to say I am fit and well. BUT here's the worry to date- the physician at the US embassy is asking for each applicant to be inoculated with Both MMR jabs- the 1st Ive had, but I did not have the booster at 12, as it was medically advised I didn't have it..

AS you can imagine, I am incredibly worried to be having an injection that almost scarred me for life. So I guess my question boils down to this- will the physician find some other way of allowing me into the states without having to have the booster, or will he be insistent on me having it.

I look forward to hearing your responses!!

maybe you should just find one of the doctors on the embassy list in your area and ask them.

Exactly. Also, have your medical records available regarding the first MMR vaccination.

another follow-up question, although think I know answer to this.

It doesn't specify on medical requirements that applicants need the 1st and 2nd boosters. e.g. It just says MMR.

I assume this means that this includes BOTH inoculations, and not just the first or second?

Thanks!

p.s. just mailed letter to embassy physician!
