😂 I've also fallen out of many trees, not recently though. And I agree with your comment about having least issue with this one, I think looking at CDC docs it does appear the 10 year thing is still in effect. Thanks for your response and good luck climbing trees!

 

Yes, I had full course as a child too, but nothing within last 10 years so required a single booster. 

 

It's only the Hep B which is a 3 course dose, but you only need first jab to satisfy medical requirements.

This is more a note for anyone in my situation, as of today (25th Nov 2024), the NHS cover the following:

• Hepatitis A
• Polio
• Typhoid
• MMR
• Tetanus

The Tetanus booster I had today was a DTP formulation (includes Diphtheria and Polio) which I believe is typical.
For all other required vaccines not listed above, you'll need to pay for privately, or on the day of examination (as mentioned by others).

My advice is to go ahead and get your vaccines right away. My husband had to get all of his and his Hep B vaccine was in 3 dosages that had to be spread out over a couple of months. He's in Germany.

 

I believe he had to get the MMR as well. 

 

His vaccine records were all lost so had to take all of them again. We haven't even had the I-130 approved yet but we wanted to be ahead of everything so we'd be ready when our time comes. He just has to take a covid booster and possibly the flu vaccine. 

 

 

The covid booster is if you haven't had the vaccine in over a year. I am hoping that the requirement of this one just goes away as it isn't even required for Americans. Kinda a double standard if you ask me.

New administration is unlikely to make this easier.
