I was DQ on October 27th and didn't get an interview. I still have my fingers crossed that they'll send out more letters by the end of the month, but realistically it feels like it will be February.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

Awesome, thank you. I just discovered I got a Tdap booster in August 2013 (before international travel). So as long as my medical is before August this year it sounds like I should be good. I have the two-dose covid shot. So that just leaves flu - do you know when they stop giving that shot in Canada? For the MMR, you wrote "They will not complete the medical without all the age appropriate vaccines are started". Will they be able to give me the shot at the medical appointment, or I should seek it before? Same for the flu. FTR I'm not opposed to getting the vaccines. My major concern is being prepared for the appointment and having everything I need taken care of ahead of time. It's been a long road and I don't want to make it longer. Thanks again!!

I took a detailed look at your answer and the chart, maybe you can help with some follow up questions! - I had Td/Tdap as a young child and have a record of that, but as far as I can tell, was never boosted. Do you understand how to interpret the notes on the chart? - I know I had the MMR shot, but don't have a record. I suppose I will have to get this one again. - I did have chickenpox as a child, and I have the medical record showing that one so hopefully I'm in the clear there. - I haven't had a flu shot. It says: Does anyone know when the flu vaccine is available in Canada? I thought this would be easy to find out, but I can't see that information anywhere. Thanks again!

Thank you very much! This chart is very clear. Richard

Thank you for the information! I really appreciate it.

Hello! I apologize if my question is already asked - I'm sure it is, but it's quite difficult to search back through so many posts (and threads!). We originally submitted the I130 form back in the May 2021. My case was transferred to the NVC in May of 2022, and I finally got DQ on October 27 of 2022. Now I'm waiting for my interview appointment. Can someone point me to the list of required vaccinations for the medical exam? I believe I have most - if not all - but I don't have my full vaccination records. I'd like to try and fill in any missing vaccines ahead of the exam. Additionally, I did hear that for exams in the winter time, a flu vaccine is required. Is this correct? Does someone know the details of that? I'm guessing (hoping) that my interview will come up by March or April, based on the information in the timeline spreadsheet. Thanks so much for any help, and happy new year! Richard
