Vaccinations

I had the MMR shots done in 1986 and then in 2002. Been searching the internet for a clear answer but hasn't really gotten one: Would I be required for yet another MMR round? Looks like I also had Td which I assume stands for Tetanus/Diptheria done in 2002 as well. Just wondering if anyone knows if I could expect to take yet another round of these or if I could save costs by presenting them the records that I have.

If you got all three doses for TD and both doses for MMR, you should be fine with what you have. If you didn't get all doses, talk to your doctor at "Vardcentralen" or maybe eve call the doctor in Stockholm or Gothenburg, which ever you will be using for the visa medical.

Did you check out this website for when these vaccines are usually given in Sweden:

Below is also a link to the CDC's website about vaccinations for immigrants:

Yep, had all T/D 3 done in 1975, then one more in 2002.I just want to make sure, so I don't get overcharged for things I don't really need. Getting old and cynical

Thanks for the links!

mallafri76, you are right about MMR, but not about Td. OP, you wil definitely need a booster for tetanus - it can't be more than 10 years from the last one. You can check my last post for my experience regarding that

Yeah I thought I read that somewhere awhile back but couldn't find it yesterday when I was looking. Thanks for the correction. ?
