What vaccines are required for medical?

[slavaskii 886]

Hello! Sorry if there's a better subforum for this, but was curious if anyone knew what vaccines were required for medical. I already know, of course, of the COVID-19 shot, but I was wondering if there was a list somewhere of the others needed. Interviewing embassy is Warsaw, if that changes anything.

 

Thank you kindly!

Are these all that are required when you go for AOS too or would there be more required then? Trying to get them all done.

Cool thanks, and these are all things we can go to our regular doctor and ask for?

You can. You’ll still need a USCIS designated civil surgeon to complete the medical and sign off on everything

If you think you've been vaccinated previously but don't have a record of it, you can ask your doctor to do a titers test.  This will determine what you've been vaccinated for and what you need.  

 

Happy stabbing!

Huh?  They are applying for a visa.  Did you mean panel physician?

I quoted someone else who mentioned AOS and I assumed they were in the US currently. Panel physician = overseas, civil surgeon = in the US.

Me thinks your assumption is wrong considering they are in the K1 process in Canada.

I can’t keep track of everyone. Perhaps it would have been better if they started their own thread as to avoid confusion. My point is still valid whether it’s a civil surgeon or a panel physician - you can get your vaccines at a ‘regular’ doctor but a panel physician or a civil surgeon are ultimately the ones who sign off on I-693 and DS-3025.
