Immunity tests in Ontario Canada

[Leo The Great 141]

I need to do following immunity tests before medical.  I did not have the immunization record  available for vaccination

1. MMR Serology(Mumps Measles Rubella)
2. Immunity against Chicken Pox
3. Immunity against Hepatitis B

If anyone did blood work for above tests in Ontario, please let me know the procedure?  Should i contact my family doctor for Laboratory requisition. If yes is it easy to get requisition for above tests from your doctor?

Have you ever had chicken pox? If so they will take your word on it. Just remember the to the best of your knowledge the year. If not then yes get that tested too. 

 

YOu can have your family doctor run the test or anywhere that can get you in fast.

I still have a time as i did not get interview appointment yet. Talked to family doctor, he will give me lab test requisition for immunity tests. Also talked to one of the Travel Clinic as a backup option. Nurse will charge a fee  and get me the shots of vaccination if needed.

My immunization record seemed incomplete for MMR so my family doctor issued me a req for me to go to lifelabs to get tested for immunity on things I was unsure of. Took no time at all and I got the results back within 72 hours. Family doctor emailed me the documents and I have them printed for the medical. 

 

Super easy!

I got immunity test requisition from my family doctor. I am already DQ but waiting for interview that may take up to couple of months or more. Is there any expiry period for immunity test results with regards to panel doctor?  Should i go for immunity test now or i should wait for the interview call?

Immunity is immunity. There is no expiry date on it as far as I am aware.

My immunity results cam back. Doctor says i need to get 3 shots for Hepatitis B. 2 doses are one month apart and other is 6 month apart. 1- month parts does is no problem. What about 3rd dose which is 6 month apart from 2nd dose. I may receive interview letter before third dose. Does medical panel require all three doses or they accept 2-doses also if my medical is scheduled before the 3rd dose is due

Only the 1st dose in the Hep B vaccine series is required for the visa medical, assuming the 1st dose was taken recently, not years ago.

You can get the 3rd dose in the US, for Hep B they just need it started. But make sure you do get the 3rd dose if you are wanting to complete it before the 6 months or you will have to start all over with the series.
