IMMUNIZATION RECORDS

[Tinker 0]

I just called telehealth, they told me the same thing, go to a clinic and explain the situation, and hopefully they'll hurry it through.

The nurse also said that I should call the consulate doctor if that doesn't work and explain my records are sealed and see what they say.

NOW the only problem is I can only go to my doctor's health network clinic,UGH, I will try it tomorrow though.

need a new thread, Trials and Tribulations

oh yeah, how long does a titer test usually take.

That won't do any good. They need proof of your immunities and they will tell you the same thing - to go to a walk-in and have them done. Again, there is no reason a clinic/doctor should deny you a routine MMR (or TD) shot.

I'm sure it depends on where you go. When I went to the walk-in clinic they told me 1-2 weeks. After a month went by I and hadn't heard from them, I called and everything was in, but I don't know exactly when they received the results from the blood they took (the testing was done off-site).

shhh there's probably a link here somewhere for it, I know it's American, but that's where I'm going, I think, I hope......

"You SHOULD get the MMR vaccine if you are not among the categories listed above, and

You are a college student, trade school student, or other student beyond high school.

You work in a hospital or other medical facility. mememememe

You travel internationally, or are a passenger on a cruise ship.
