Immunizations
HI, All,
As my interview is drawing closer, I am looking into the medical requirements. Based on a number of previous postings, it is suggested to have panel physicians to give you shot(s) instead of digging into medical history or obtaining documents.
For Td, the web site says:
1. An initial series of three immunizations, which are normally received in childhood at ages 2, 4 and 6 months and a booster immunization within the last 10 years must be documented.
or
2. If you have no proof of a primary series you must begin an adult series of TWO doses of Td 4 to 8 weeks apart with a third dose 6 to 12 months after the second. You must be as up-to-date as possible with your series at the time of your immigration medical.
or
3. You must have proof of a Td booster within the 4 weeks prior to your immigration medical.
or
4. An antibody titers blood test showing proof of immunity to tetanus and diphtheria.
Wondering if you can't proove anything, what option they give out, #2 or #3. #2 is a series, which means you have to return to them or they allow you to do it with your American doctor. #3 is really preferable, which I assume it is just one shot.
Then we also have to take MMR. So in total, it will be two shots? How much does it cost (I recall some previous posts cited $20cdn, is that for each shot, or total).
I called them and could not get a live operator. So your experience is really helpful.
Thanks.
