Immunization question, can you help?

[moiraresfate]

Ok, this was a little strange for me. During my immigration doctors appointment for my green card (we waited too long to apply for the green card once I arrived in the country. You have to do it within one year of arriving in the US for them to wave the requirement of a doctors appt and my time limit had just expired).

They asked me if I had chicken pox when I was a child and I told them I did. In fact, it was really bad so I never thought I'd have to worry about it again. Supposedly, once you have it, your body has an immunity to it. Or so I thought.

The doctor insisted that I get the chicken pox vaccine anyway so I had the first shot.

They also say that I need to get a second shot for it and I haven't gotten it yet.

I was wondering if I really do need to get that shot. It seems utterly ridiculous to me since I had the chicken pox when I was a kid, and have now had the first shot.

Why would I need a second one?

Does anyone know if its absolutely neccessary for me to get another shot?

Thanks.

i think your best bet is to take the second vaccine, i had another set of vaccination too, but mine was in three stages, what happens is that the Dr. will eitheir include a waiver in you result but will show that you have started and this should work well with your application and it is for your own good.
