Civil Surgeon for Vaccination Transcription - New Orleans, Louisiana

[kittylondon 47]

This isn't a very interesting topic, but thought I would post so that others searching for civil surgeon + new orleans would come across it. I went to see Dr Horace Baltz at 3439 Prytania today to transcribe my vaccination record and he was happy to do so for FREE (although I paid $30 for this season's flu shot as an aside). Initially his nurse/receptionist (it's a two-man show at Dr Baltz's office) tried to get me to strip for a whole physical, but when I explained very clearly that i just needed him to complete the vaccination sheet with my updated records (i had the 2nd MMR at my own GP in London after the visa medical), he was willing to do so despite finding it "most unorthodox".

I don't think any of us really knew what we were doing to start with, but by reading the i-693 clearly and insisting that I did not need a full medical, we got there! I did not need the flu shot for the record, as I did already have one this year in the UK, but I know that the strains are different and although I may meet immigration requirements, I wouldn't actually have any extra protection against flu season, so I paid $30 cash for that, and they sealed up the forms, gave me a copy for my records, and I cycled home (not before grabbing a sandwich from Milk Bar round the corner from Dr Baltz's office!).

So, to clarify, I would recommend Dr Baltz to people in the metro New Orleans area looking for a civil surgeon for AOS- whether you need the whole medical done, or just vaccionation records transcribed. He may not have done it before, but hopefully he'll do it again after today!

P.S topic may need to be moved - wasn't sure where to put it!

Thats really useful to know, we're currently waiting on our NOA2 and still a ways to go. We'll be living just outside New Orleans once done.

Hi Kate,

You know you didn't have to have it transcribed? Nick-Nich said that aslong and it was ticked 'applicant may be eligible for a blanket waiver' then it would be fine for the AOS.

It's great it didn't cost you anything and a good tip for other moving to your area though

How is you AOS package going?
