COVID Vaccine - Boosters?

[Pat2021 43]

Hi everyone,

 

I feel like the medical info page is a bit vague - for the COVID vaccine, do I need to have any booster shots, or are the 2 main Moderna shots enough?

Thank you.

My understanding is that you need to have had the first and second dose.

 

From Visa Medical site:

 

Quote

All applicants eligible for Covid-19 vaccination under local policy, including K1 visas, Refugees and Non-immigrant visas require proof of 2 doses of a COVID 19 vaccine in order to complete their Visa Medical (With the exception of the Janssen vaccine which is a one dose course).

No boosters required for immigration at this time.

Posting my list of shots in case you haven’t seen it elsewhere.

 

Here are the shots needed for 19 through 59 years of age:

• Td or Tdap - Tetanus/diptheria/pertussis or get DT, DTP or DtaP and it will be accepted. The latest shot must be no longer than 10 years ago or you need a booster. In the UK they will give Revaxis which is Tetanus/diphtheria +polio. Adults don’t need polio for immigration but that’s the combo available in the UK. They don’t have a Tetanus and diphtheria only (Td)  jab like Adacel given in the US.  
• MMR - (if born in 1957 or later)-Mumps/measles/rubella.  It's two doses in your life, but if you get the first dose, and 4 weeks haven't passed by your medical, they will waive the second dose for "insufficient time interval". If you only had one dose as a child, get a second one before the medical.
• Varicella - Not routinely given in the UK. A history of having chickenpox excuses you from the shot. They take your word for it at the visa medical exam. They will also waive the shot in the UK for "not routinely available". 
• Influenza - Required during flu season only, October 1 through March 31.  If your medical is not during flu season, you don't need it. 
• Hepatitis B - required for all applicants up to 59 years old. 
• COVID-19 vaccine - Completely vaccinated with primary dose 1&2. No boosters required at this time. (New starting 1-Oct-2021).
