Is it fine to have my 2nd dose of varicella vaccine here in the Philippines?

What will I bring to the Civil Surgeon in the US as proof of completion?

when you get done with your medical they should give you a form showing all the vaccinations you received. I think it is the DS3025 but am not sure. When we went to the civil surgeon we showed him that. Claudeth had the MMR at St. Lukes and then only had to have the tetanus here. good luck

My wife had MMR and Hepa B series at private clinic in the Philippines before doing St. Lukes. Just took the records to St. Lukes and they put everything on their form.

Gave it to DCS in the states for the I-693a.

Had the TD shot from my doctor here and gave the record to the DCS also.

Hint! Be sure you keep and make copies of the form St. Lukes gives you.

Lots of peep seem to lose them.

Exactly. I have my DS-3025 in my hand now, and I have two vaccines lacking;namely, 2nd shot for varicella and TD shot. Others were done before med at a private doctor. I wanna know if USCIS will acknowledge any vaccination done after med exam at SLEC. If so, what I need to present to the Civil Surgeon who will transfer the file to my vaccination supplement form.

I will have the varicella 2nd dose here in the Philippines. I was told by the lady at the releasing counter that I can also have it here since the shot will be after 4-6 weeks from the 1st dose. I will still be here in the Philippines so I'll just have it w/ my private doctor.

[island_princess 2]

Did she tell what to bring to the US Civil Surgeon?

If you will have the vaccination done with a private doctor, you will just need a medical certification from the that doctor that will state the date, name of vaccine and dosage that was given to you. You can also have your vaccine (2nd dose) done at SLEC, you will have to contact them for that and they will give you certification for it. You will be needing these medical certifications to present to US Civil Surgeons later on.

bring the vaccine form given from SLEc and present it to the surgeon.

island_princess,

No, I wasn't told what to bring to the doctor. I was too surprised when I was told I would need a 2nd dose that I wasn't able to ask any other questions. We can always call SLEC to clarify on this.

[island_princess 2]

You always give the soundest reply. Thank you, Helen. I think, I'll have it at SLEC the day before our int'l flight. Is this advisable? Does this varicella vaccine has any side effect?

Thank you Lira and Jacki. I'll call SLEC about it.

Side effects of varicella vaccine is mostly "fever", some may have rash/vesicular eruptions (but very seldom). If airlines/terminals are still checking body temperatures of passengers, maybe you will not be allowed to get on board the plane? (Joke). We usually advice patients to take Paracetamol every 4 hours (for atleast 24 hours) after their vaccines. You will be just fine, just make sure they will provide you with the additional medical certification for the vaccine given.

July of 06 when we decided to get married and start the K1 visa process, I had found a list of required (and suggested) immunizations on the DOS site. I went ahead and had my sweetie get all those shots then. Poor thing she felt like a pin cushion for about a month and a half. I felt it was a good thing to get her all those shots anyway for her health because she had not had any of them. She is bringing a record from her physician of those shots. Is there a problem with SLEC accepting that? Also, the fee that is required, is that for the shots? Can she be waivered for that since she has all the shots needed?

Does anyone have a link to a list of required vaccinations? I can't find the one on DOS anymore.

Jim,

I do not know if this link will help, but it is worth a try, maybe.
