So I'm reading that the flu vaccine is required (for IR1) if the medical exam is done during the flu season (until March 31).

What if my husband is getting his medical in March, but we are not immigrating until early April?

Is there any way to get out of the flu vaccine requirement if you can reasonably show that you won't go to the US before April 1? Because realistically, we must do the medical at least a week before the interview, then it takes around a week to get the visa after the interview. So is any leniency allowed here? Or would we have to get some specific waiver about it that would then add more time to the process?

He'll have to get other vaccines at the medical already, and the less the better — especially because it's so common to get sick after getting the flu vaccine, and because he won't immigrate during flu season anyway....

Thank you!
