Missing vaccination records

[Petersaad1 10]

my wife(beneficiary) is missing all her vaccination records from childhood. What can i do?

A couple options:

1.  Receive all required vaccinations again.  Generally, this can be done during the medical exam in many cases.

2. Have hospital perform titer measurements to determine presence of antibodies.

Thank you. Do I know how I can find the required vaccines?

In places where lost or never provided vaccination records are common, the civil surgeons usually have a ready way to deal with this at interview, and can determine what is needed, as part of the exam process. At least one common vaccine leaves a scar and others, they can pretty much determine from the interview, with information about their age, exactly where they lived as a child, and their knowledge of local vaccination processes.

Our lawyer told us to mark "yes" on the DS-260 because in our case, the medical happens before the interview and they will deal with the documentation then.

Mark yes about the vaccination records.  You'll have them by the time the medical is complete.
