Immunization Records

[JennandJames 19]

My hubby got his interview date for our CR1 VISA.  He cannot get his immunization records. He doesn't have a doctor and Alberta Health Services says that they only have them from 1990 onwards.  Any advice on what to do?

He can get a titer test to check immunity for MMR & Hep B. Go ahead and get a TDap & flu shot.

Can he get those done anywhere?

I went to my GP, and he ordered the titre test for me.  All I needed to get in the end was an updated tetanus. My immunizations were done in the 50's, so I had no hope of ever getting those records.
