Vaccinations from UK

[Henley1989 10]

Hi There,

Been looking around but found nothing conclusive regarding Vaccinations from UK on K1 visa.

I will be having my medical at Kensington Medical in London. I want to get a headstart, but the nurse says I need a list of what I need for entry to USA

- Does anyone know where I can find an exact list of vaccinations required?

- If I need them for AOS, is it worth updating them now in London?

Thanks

1. Yes. Go visit your GP and request a copy of your vaccination records. They should be able to either give you a print out from their system or write a short letter detailing what you've had with the GP's signature etc.

2. YES. Getting it done with AOS means you'll have to find a doctor there who'll do your vaccinations for you/verify you've had them, and many will insist that you need to have a full medical again. It's not worth the time nor the expense to put it off until AOS when you can have any missing vaccinations for free in the UK and have the correct form completed with the K1 medical. Read this thread for more reasons why this is a definite YES: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/541811-another-warning-k1s-get-your-shots/

Cheaper (if not free) to get them done at your GP

Welcome to the UK forum. It's the place to ask London questions. Your medical place is called Knightsbridge.

The shots that apply to you are listed in the first post of this thread. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

The most you should need are coverage for

1) Mumps/Measles/Rubella

2)Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis

Flu is not needed unless your medical is during flu season

You get out of Varicella by saying you had chickenpox
