Hi Friends,

I need to apply for the 3rd stage (I-485). I will be getting the normal Medical Examination done with the INS approved doctors.
But I don\'t have proof of vaccination against diseases such as mumps, measles, polio, tetanus etc. since these were administered
way back in India when I was young. Could any of you let me know, whether these are REALLY REQUIRED and what should I do in
order to get these?

Thanks,

No med records...

The doctor will do a blood test to check your immunity levels. Will cost around 350-400 dollars for the test. The result will determine which vaccines you will need.
 
This is not correct

What "Laidoff Bench" writes above is totally incorrect - looks like he got laid.

I had all the immunization records with me, but the doctor said that since I am over 14 yrs. of age I\'ll require booster shots of the 3 vaccines (I think it\'s these three, but please double check):

MMR
Chicken Pox
DTP

So, if you are over 14 yrs. of age, your past immunization records are not relevant.

For me, EVERYTHING including the shots, the TB test, etc. cost $210.
