VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
(for immigrants only, not for K visa applicants)
Recent changes to US immigration law now require immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations on behalf of immigrant visa applicants are now required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirements, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
| mumps | tetanus | influenzae type B (HIB) | influenza |
| measles | diphtheria | hepatitis B | |
| rubella | toxoids | varicella | |
| polio | pertussis | pneumococcal | |
In order to assist the panel physician and to avoid delays in the processing of an immigrant visa, all immigrant visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for the panel physician’s review at the time of the immigrant medical examination. Visa applicants should consult with their regular health care provider to obtain a copy of their immunization record, if one is available. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement. Certain waivers of the vaccination requirement are available upon the recommendation of the panel physician.
Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history, and current medical condition.
The validity of the medical examination is one year. If there is tuberculosis condition, the medical exam is only valid for six months, instead of 12 months.
