Question about medical.
I have to have my second medical done because the first one has expired. I haven't got an RFE for a new one but I do have an interview scheduled for 06 June. my question is do they require two doses of the Hep B vaccine or just one?? I had the first one today

when was your PD?

You never had the Hep B vaccine with your initial medical? I would just reach out to your civil surgeon to ask them to be sure.

@Patiently Waiting nope it was not required when I did my first medical

@jet blue are you sure you didn’t have the hep b vaccine as a kid? they can do a blood test for this one to prove immunity. now babies get it but I got it when I was about 13 through school programs (in Canada).

@w s I had all my childhood vaccines but they said if you had a had any in the last 10 years i had to redo them so I had to get everything done again except polio.

@jet blue no definitely not!!!! I did my hep b over 20 years ago and brought my proof to my civil surgeon and it was fine. I also had MMR but I showed Low immunity on my bloodwork so I had to get an extra shot. only the dtap needs to be in the last 10 years. I would double check they’re not just trying to charge you for unnecessary vaccines.

@jet blue and you don’t need the polio vaccine I don’t think… I am 37 and it’s not on my schedule. I don’t think I ever got that one lol. #survivef

@w s I had polio shot as a kid when I scheduled my appointment they told me I needed help b and polio. this is my second medical because USCIS have taken too dam long to get to my aplication.

just look at the schedule by age. no idea how old you are but I didn’t need polio and they accepted my hep b from 20+ years ago.

@jet blue oh my bad. this must have changed since I did mine. polio is now required unless you’ve had it before. this is crazy. they keep adding more and more to this schedule.
idk 🙂 🥱May 9, 2024
@jet blue can you please list to me the vaccines you did on your first ? did you do polio ? meningitis,pneumonia(prévenar) !? also did they do a blood work to know which vaccines I had before ?!

@idk 🙂 🥱 Td/Tdap; Measles, Mumps and Rubella , Chicken Pox (if you have never had it) I had the polio vaccine when I was a child . no meningitis or pneumonia because it depends on your age. flu shot if in winter
