If you don’t have any proof, the dr will ask to do bloodwork for checking antibody for each vaccine. Depends on that results he will decide which all vaccines you need to take. This is what our dr did.

@J Z that’s good info! Will the doc need to take additional blood samples for this?

@Cat Dun When you go for your appointment with the civil surgeon, make sure to bring your vaccination records, which should include all the vaccines required for your age, passport and id. During your visit, they will either take a blood sample at their office or send you to a lab for testing for tuberculosis and syphilis or any test required in case you ain’t vaccinated. After completing these steps, they will check the results, vaccinate you if needed, then the civil surgeon will fill out a form for you and provide it in a sealed envelope, which you will need to submit along with all your other documents to USCIS. https://www.uscis.gov/tools/designated-civil-surgeons/vaccination-requirements

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ seems like you’ve done yours already

@f c Yes, I completed my exam last year. I was aware that this process could take some time, so I wanted to avoid any last-minute rush or complications. Since I couldn't locate my vaccination card from back home, I went ahead and got all the necessary vaccines again and created a new record here.

My doctor gave script to do those bloodwork from labcorp. Some doctors do take the blood sample in their office.

Like@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ mentioned you can get it done in advance from any civil surgeon to avoid any last minute complication. Make sure you get the polio vaccine because USCIS has made it mandatory last year and many civil surgeons are not aware of that rule. Many got rfe for polio vaccine recently.

any idea with the civil surgeon will accept vaccination proof issued by doctors in my home country?

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ please how much did you pay

@f c I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was around $500, which included the blood test. Since I’ve already received all my vaccinations, this was quite pricey, I ended up getting them at CVS, they had the best price at that time.

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ please can you share the list of the vaccines so that I can know which one I have already done back home

@f c I already posted it, look on the previous messages, there’s a link to the USCIS WEBSITE. there you can see accordingly to your age, what vaccines you need.

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ ok👍
