Immigrant Visa Medical Information
Vaccination Chart | Panel Physicians
Recent changes to United States
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
of immigrant visa applicants are now required to verify that immigrant
visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirement, or that
it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive
one or more of the listed vaccinations:
Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Polio, Tetanus and
Diphtheria Toxoids, Pertussis, Influenza Type B (HIB), Hepatitis
B, Varicella, Pneumococcal and Influenza.
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
