Vaccines in Russian

[Meghan&Andrey 51]

I am looking for a list of the vaccines needed in Russian, not English. They don't exactly translate correctly when you use Google translator and while my fiancé can translate, he can't translate medical terms like that. The embassy in Moscow's site just gives a link to the website where it lists the vaccines. But they're in English with no option to view the site in Russian or any other language. He was supposed to go to his doctor yesterday but we're having to put that on hold. He says to do the blood test to test for the vaccines he's had would be very costly. We have several documents that have vaccination history on them, but we don't know what the ones he needs looks like in Russian & he can't read quite a few because of the doctor's handwriting. He says and I quote, "I grew up in USSR and it had some of the best medicine in the word at that time. And I was visiting school, was a good boy, so for sure I must have them." He cracks me up. We're both flying blind here so can anyone help? Thanks!

Your fiance should bring his vaccination childhood record (whatever he has) to his medical exam in Moscow. Doctors who will conduct that exam will translate Russian into English themselves and fill out the form. If it will be determined that any mandatory shots are missing they will administer them on the spot. For a fee, of course.

I called them before mine, they said АДС-м and Приорикс were the ones required for my age group (18+). Those are rubella-measles-something and tetanus-something.

MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Measles = корь, mumps = паротит (свинка), rubella = краснуха.

Tetanus = столбняк.

Also, your fiance can contact the clinic that will conduct his exam directly.

I hope it's a right page: it's not easy for me to read Russian (it's related to my native Polish, but I am not fluent).

Thank you! He's 33 so those are the only ones we need to be worried about? I don't want to just wait until the medical exam where they'll charge an arm & a leg for them in the case they can't locate them on his documents. I want to see if we can find them in his documents & if not, try to get them at his doctor beforehand & he says he needs the Russian translation for his doctor anyway.

These differ from what Hollyday wrote. Are these the individual vaccines & the ones she wrote are the ones where its one injection with multiple vaccines?

Measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus (and translation: корь, паротит, краснуха, столбняк) are the names of the actual deceases/infections. Hollyday mentioned all of them minus mumps. I provided names in Russian.

I am assuming that "АДС-м and Приорикс" are the names of the vaccines.

I think the safe option would be to call IOM and confirm but generally yes, i think those are it. I did them in advance before my medical (full round of 3 for tetanus and one for measles and mumps).

There's no contradiction, that's exactly the 2 i said. ADSm is for tetanus and something else and Priorix is for mumps and measles and something else. Those are the names of the vaccines.

My husband was unable to locate ANY trace of his childhood vaccination. So he had a blood test done at a random nearby clinic and then took the results to an USCIS doctor. The doc transferred them onto the medical exam form. Maybe it's an option for your man as well? Although if he is in Russia I have no idea if it's an option.

This is what we were going to do but he said doing so would be really expensive and it would probably be cheaper to just either try to get vaccines before or wait until the medical exam. But, that's really expensive to. So I don't know :/

No prob. Yes, he can do them in advance, just make sure that he gets the description and doctor and clinic stamp in this special vaccinations certificate (it's one little booklet for all of them). Also if he didn't have something at all and it requires a set of vaccines being administered at intervals he doesn't have to take full course before the interview, as far as i know, just show he's started getting it and is on schedule with revaccinations. Like tetanus for the first time is 1, then 1 in a month, then 1 in 6-9 months from the first vaccination.

Assuming that the poster above me and the OP's fiance are in the same age group, and he does have a vaccination document of a kind....you guys could take a gamble and get the age appropriate shots done in advance at a reasonably priced clinic that accepts his insurance (if have insurances in Russia).

He'd need:

1. АДС-м (= Анатоксин дифтерийно-столбнячный с уменьшенным содержанием дифтерийного анатоксина). Vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus.

2. Priorix = Приорикс вакцина против кори, краснухи, паротита (свинки). Vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella.

There is also a seasonal flu shot, but you won't know if he'd need it so far in advance.

That's exactly what i said, yes. Flu season is not till autumn, i believe.

At this rate, we'll be well into Flu Season by the time he needs his medical. So I'm sure he'll need a flu shot. Thank you guys so much. I'll show him all of this & hopefully he can figure out what's best with this information.

Welcome and good luck.
