if you dont have a record of your vaccinations, then you have to get them all

@sa sa When you go to get your medical done, they’ll do blood work and if u need any of these shots they’ll tell you.

during the first appointment they will check with your blood test which vaccines you need. I think that they just can’t see the Flu and Covid vaccine so you will need the record for that! then usually the next appointment the doctor will review everything and if you needed to take any vaccine, just bring the record

I don't have any vaccination record, after blood test i got only one vaccine TDAP (Tetanus Diphtheria and Pertussis).

Yeah the blood test checks for immunity so they'll let you know what you need to take. But stop wondering and go see a surgeon just in case you need a few. Some vaccines come with 3 in the series. Maybe just the first dose will be fine and you can get the rest after. There is a box they can check that says time didn't permit the other vaccines in the series. If you don't have a communicable disease and you got at least 1 shot, you should be fine.

@sa sa if you already have them then no just let the doctor where u got the already vaccines give you print out of them to bring to the uscis surgeon. if any are over due again then u might have to take them over. if you have insurance and the uscis surgeon office will take the insurance then use your insurance. some of the uscis surgeon wants u to pay out of pocket for the fee plus the vaccines. so call around and find a surgeon that does take insurance.. and yes u have to take all of those vaccines.. they will also test for syphilis gonorrhea etc... best of luck

I had most of the shots when I was a kid @Approved GreenCard @MS July 2023 @Kerry S but I don't have any records other than tetus or covid. so do we have to take that again or I can just tell them?
Kerry SDec 11, 2024
@sa sa they will take samples of your blood to check for immunity so there will be multiple vials they'll draw. If the results come back that you have immunity, then they'll note that and you don't have to get them again. If blood work shows no immunity, which means you probably never contracted the disease before or you never got the shot, then they'll send an order for you to get them. It's nothing to worry about.

@sa sa it's not about telling them you need proof and at this point if you did something yrs ago to prevent any issues when uscis gets your medicals Please do all that is required whether u took them yrs ago or not. worse if you don't have proof. . best of luck ☺️ keep us posted
