This examination includes a review of vaccination history and confirmation that all immunizations required under U.S. immigration law are up to date, in accordance with current CDC guidelines. Specific vaccine requirements may vary depending on the applicant’s age, medical history, and other individual factors, and will be reviewed during the exam. Applicants should bring any available vaccination records to their appointment to help streamline the process. Please bring all available vaccination records to your appointment.
