Vaccinations

[Kendall_Suphee 0]

I am filing the I-129F for Suphee's K1 visa next week, but I am currently visiting her here in Thailand. She told me that she did not think she had any of the vaccinations on the DS-3025 that I pulled off the US Embassy website for Thailand. So... over the last 4 days, she has had all the vaccinations on the 3025 that I printed from their website...

My question is:

Which of the shots are in a series?

I searched VJ for Vaccinations related RFEs and it looks like others have been required to get a second round of the Td or Tetanus & Diptheria and also the Varicella or Chickenpox. She just had round one ... so I think she needs round 2 for both in 4-6 weeks.

Are there other vaccinations that need another round? I am just trying to help her as much as I can and prepare her for what to expect.... (she was not happy getting these shots)

She was just thrilled to hear that she gets to go back in 4-6 weeks for a few more.

Kendall_Suphee,

Would have been a good question to ask at the time she was getting the vaccinations? Or at the medical exam, at which time perhaps she can get the next shot in any that come in a series.

Well... I did... but the "Bangkok Hospital" in Pattaya, supposedly the "good" hospital... has already made mistakes... They signed in the wrong places, (signed for vaccinations she had not had yet) and gave her the polio vaccination 2x... because they gave her the polio vacc alone and then later realized that another vaccination only came paired with the polio vaccine... so, while they have tried to be helpful... they have not inspired much confidence...

I'm in BKK and am not sure if my fiancee has had any of these shots yet. If she hasn't, will she have to have multiple rounds of shots? If so, should she start getting the shots soon, so she won't have to wait later when it is time to get her physical done or can everything be done at once with the physical?

Thanks

Kendall_Suphee,

The "Bangkok Hospital" in Pattaya signed what in the wrong places? There are only 4 places in Thailand that are authorized to give the medical exam and fill out the forms, 2 in Bangkok and 2 in Chiangmai.

She can get the shots wherever she wants, but she will need to take the record of them to one of the 4 authorized facilities to get the forms filled out. The designated doctors at those facilities will know what is needed.
