Annotation MED: Class B

[Anoushka Drew 5]

I just read a thread about this and I have this annotation in my visa.

I am supposed to have three vaccines, MMR, TDAP and varicella. I only received one shot (MMR) and the rest were unavailable. Will this be a possible of reason of such annotation?

Thanks

I don't think that Class B has anything to do with vaccinations. It (usually) denotes a health issue that does not prevent you to immigrate. Those are e.g. managed chronical contions, diabilities and some psycological issues.

Now I wonder what are the possible issues concerning my health. St. Lukes never told me anything about it. It is disconcerting knowing the unknown. Will SLEC provide me information if I try to call and ask about it?

I thought that as long SLEC gave you the vaccinations, there would be no more problem regarding your health and you could go to U.S

That is true for the most part, as long as you pass your medical you are good to go for flying to the USA.

A class B condition will not prevent you from entering the United States, nor will missing vaccinations. You can get them here from the civil surgeon or from a private doctor of your choosing. It would be nice to have gotten them at SLEC because of cost, but they do this all the time. But don't worry. Come here and have your fiance take you to the civil surgeon or a private doctor (or maybe a health clinic since they are cheaper). This is not a big problem.

Thank you.. I didn't sleep well last night worrying about this. Yes, I will be travelling soon.

This is what i found from the cdc site.My passport has a class b stamp too because of "pregnancy" but it was ruled out.I did an extensive research too when i saw the B.Lol
