I-693 Medical Exam requirements

[yoavzo]

Hello,

I need to get vaccines done to meet the requirements of the I-693 Medical Exam form though I do not know what are the required vaccines - a few websites list a lot of different vaccines needed but speaking to an appointed civil surgeon I understood that only three vaccines are need (MMR, Tet**** and shi ngles/chickenpox).

What are the current vaccines needed, then? I am a bit confused.

(I am applying for a family based green card).

Its case to case basis. They will perform titer test to be able to know what are the vaccines you need.

I-693 Instructions, page 10/12 & 11/12. Here is the link and I've pasted the relevant section below.

Vaccination Requirements
All applicants for adjustment of status must present documents showing they were vaccinated against a broad range of
vaccine-preventable diseases. The civil surgeon will review your vaccination history with you to determine whether you
have had all the required vaccinations. Make sure you take your vaccination records with you to your appointment with
the civil surgeon.
NOTE: Do not attempt to meet the requirements before the civil surgeon evaluates you, in case any of the required
vaccines are not medically appropriate for you.
You can find a list of the required vaccines at
https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugee...on-faqs.html#6.
If you never received certain vaccines, or you are unable to prove you received them, the civil surgeon can provide them
to you. You also have the option to ask your family doctor to administer those vaccines to you after your evaluation by
the civil surgeon. If you choose that option, show the records to the civil surgeon to note on Form I-693.
If you initially did not have documents proving you received all the required vaccines, but later submit those documents,
USCIS may grant you a waiver based on the civil surgeon?s certification on Part 9. Vaccination Record of Form I-693.
USCIS may also grant you a waiver if the civil surgeon certifies that it is not medically appropriate for you to have one or
more of the required vaccines.
HHS has determined that a vaccine is ?not medically appropriate? if:
1. The vaccine is not recommended for your specific age group;
2. There is a medical reason why it would not be safe to have the vaccine (for example, you are allergic to eggs and/or
yeast or you had bad reactions to prior vaccines);
3. You are unable to complete the entire series of a required vaccine within a reasonable amount of time; or
4. For the influenza vaccine, it is not the flu season.
Form I-693 Instructions 10/19/17 N Page 11 of 12
If you object to required vaccinations because of sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions, you may apply for
a waiver of these requirements. If you hold these objections, inform the civil surgeon that you will apply for a waiver.
If USCIS denies the waiver application, we may also deny the immigration benefit that you are seeking. For more
information about these waivers, visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov.

Why don't you go to a doctor affiliated with USCIS and ask for a visit for a green card? They will tell you everything you need in terms of vaccinations.
