Is this required for every one immigrating to the USA or is it more country specific? IE.... not all of them for certain countries

That is alot of vaccinations.

Here is the general list of vaccinations, get it done by your family physician, if possible, before going to Consulate approved physician to cut the cost.

Children in the US are required to have these (most, if not all...can't remember) before they're allowed to start school. Some have religious or other reasons why they won't have certain ones done.

Vaccinations are age specific.

For persons between 17 and 65 they are:

• Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids

• Varicella

• Mumps, Measles, Rotovirus (MMR)

I guess I should ask what vaccinationsare they going to want to see for her entry. I understand that childeren have to have them and that some are age specific but what is immigration going to ask for for her entry

[cassi9879 20]

They didn't ask at entry for vaccinations specifically, just the envelope from the doctor with all the stuff in it.

Are you K-3 per your profile? OR CR-1 per here you posted this?

Is a child immigrating at the same time??? If so did you file an I-130 for the child??? If you did NOT file an I-130 for child, you had better be doing K-3/K-4, there is NO derivative visa for a CR-1, the child will not get a visa if no I-130 was filed for the child.

Ok next question Hepetitis is a series vaccination meaning you have to have one and then a month or so later you have to have a second I if I remember right a third a month after that. Can one enter without all the series or will she have to wait?

WE are filing for a CR-1 No child

My guess is that it has to be started and then they want the final after arrival, with the records delivered to the local office.

Sorry, I just fixed the K-3 CR-1 thing

If all they do is ask for the envelope with all the stuff in it then theexmining doctor gives the vaccinations?

In the VJ guide to CR-1 is says here is a list of vaccinations to do that is cheaper to have done at your family doctor before your examination. I am just trying to clairify if this is the case that all these have to be done wheather it by family doctor or examinng physician.

[cassi9879 20]

The visa doctor sent my husband to a regular doctor for the vaccinations.

Hepatitis is not needed for persons coming to the USA, my wife did not have that, only what I indicated above.

I had HEP shots for my trips to China.

Vaccinations are age and gender specific. See page 15 for the official list:

• Mumps, Measles, Rotovirus (MMR)

I thought the "R" in MMR was for rubella? Are rubella and rotovirus the same thing??

[cassi9879 20]

I think it was a mixup....they're nothing a like. It looks like the rotavirus vaccine is swallowed not injected.

ROTAVIRUS (alternate spelling)

RUBELLA
