Hepatitis B requirements

[wangaturtle 1]

Hello everyone!

We are about to start the process of filing for the K1 visa. My partner is in the Philippines and will be coming over to me in the US. However my fiancee has lost her medical records, save for her Hepatitis B shot. The bad news is that on this record she only has the first two shots for the hepatitis B. What can we do about this and what can we do about her missing vaccination records? We're both very new to this and worrying over this. Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

All required vaccinations are provided when the medical exam is completed and are included in the exam fee.  It is not unusual to not have vaccination records in the Philippines.  Further, only the first dose of any vaccine that is given in a series is required.  Other than getting vaccines that she has already had, but has no proof of, there is no problem at all.

Not uncommon - the clinic that does the health exam can perform antibody tests to determine what vaccinations you've had in the past. Alternatively, in most cases there's no harm in having an extra dose of a vaccine.
