hi all, i am currently waiting for NVC to send my file to Singapore. so i am planning to get the injection done before the medical appointment. just realize i need to take so many vaccines. i dont have any past records and dont think MMR is injected for Malaysian kids when i was small. anyway, if i go for MMR injection now i dont think i can have any other injection within a month. and MMR needs 2 dose. but i am going to arrange medical appt soon. any idea on what should i do 

if money is your issue, you can take your second shot(s) in Singapore after your interview and after your approval, before you leave for the US, keep your vaccination certificates, bring it to the US.

 

don't take vaccinations at Fullerton, it's much more expensive. before i went for my medical, i asked a lady how much Fullerton charged her for the shots taken there. that's how i know. what is necessary is ONE of each shot of mandatory vaccines to get your approval and DS-3025. if doctors want you to take second shots, it can be taken after you arrive in US.

 

here's what i think and this is my experience. i don't have a history of taking varicella(chicken pox) vaccine, quite frankly i don't remember if i had it. i opted to take the vaccines instead of the test. varicella is also a vaccine that needed to be taken twice(the vaccination doctor at Woodlands Polyclinic is where this info came from). at least 3 months apart is what the Polyclinic did for me.

 

i took one shot before my medical exam, before the interview. the second shot was taken after the interview. i took the second because it was free for me, so why not.

 

Fullterton Healthcare gave me a complete DS-3025 despite only one shot of varicella. i went through AoS without a problem with this DS-3025. nobody asked me about the second varicella shot. i never bothered to report it. i brought it for my green card interview but honestly, my husband and i had so much fun at the interview, we forgot to volunteer the info and nobody asked me.

 

so there you go. my fullerton medical was 9th Apr 2018, my mandatory shots were taken at Woodlands Polyclinic on 1st March 2018, you can find my K1 visa and green card approvals on my immigration timeline.
