Frequently Asked Question:


1. What is the purpose of the vaccination requirement?

The vaccination requirement ensures that individuals applying for immigration status do not pose a public health risk. It helps prevent the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases.

2. Do I need to receive all the listed vaccines?

The specific vaccines required depend on your age, medical history, and the vaccines you have already received. Dr. Peña Santiago will determine which vaccines you need during your medical exam.

3. What if I don't have my vaccination records?

If you do not have documentation of your vaccines, you may need to undergo a blood test to verify immunity or receive the required vaccines again.

4. Can I refuse a vaccine?

You can refuse a vaccine, but it may affect your immigration application. Medical or religious exemptions are possible but must be documented and reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

5. How can I prepare for the immigration medical exam?

Ensure you bring any medical records, including vaccination records, to your appointment. It is also helpful to know your medical history and have a list of any medications you are taking.
