Hello hello everyone! So, I have done my medical yesterday at NMC Deira Dubai and the Physician told me that the vaccines is totally optional for K1 visa...... And said I can do it later in U.S., is that right? I basically didn't do it as well since she told me that it was entirely up to me and that it is not compulsory to have it here (was scared with needles). Please advice if anyone have done it before and got no issues at interview or POE. Many thanks!

You will need to take the vaccinations eventually. If not at your medical so at the latest before you adjust status in the US, so why not take them now and protect yourself and others from serious and potentially fatal diseases?!?!

Thanks! I can still do it even I already done my medical, right? Will call the Physician later to arrange it. I was just basically too nervous yesterday and was shaking (after the blood test) when the physician interviewed me with medical history.

Yes, you should still be able to do them before you leave for the US. Just be sure to bring the vaccination record with you as proof for your AOS. Probably way cheaper for you to do it in your home country rather than in the US anyway.

I used to have the same fear of needles as you do so I know how you feel. :(

Thanks Mallari.... One last thing: I don't need to do them with the same physician, right? They're too expensive here in Dubai too about 200$ for 2 shots :-(
