Vaccinations

[Anron 0]

Hi all

I will be getting shots on Monday but I've already been told that there are no flu vaccinations (with it being the middle of July and I couldn't get them in the UK because they'd run out by early April). Does this mean that I'm going to have to wait to send in all my paperwork until I've hat the shot (probably early Sept)? Being a housewife is driving me crazy - I want to work!!!

Thanks

If you are not in the category for needing one such as because of your age or condition then you can have it waivered.

According to USCIS "Influenza vaccine is required for applicants 6 months through 18 years of age during the influenza (flu) season. Influenza vaccine continues to be required for adults 50 years of age or older."

The flu shot is only required during flu season, which is Oct. - Mar.

Things changed in Nov. 2010 and everyone 6 months and older are required to get the flu shot if it is flu season. http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/civil/updates/action-recommendations-flu-vaccine.html

Thank you! I'm hoping that's the last time I'm confused for a while
