Not all Vaccinations listed are needed?

[Mingjing]

I called one docotor office listed on BCIS and got the impression that vaccination I will be given will only be a subset of the long full list of vaccinations I have seen at BCIS site. One example is Varicella - I was told if I had (interpretation: if I claim I had) chicken pox when I was a kid, then I don't need to have Varicella, even I told over the phone that I lost all my past vaccination record.

Can somebody comment on if your vaccination record combined with new shots you took match teh BCIS full list of vaccinations?

Thanks,
Mingjing

Also ask your physician to do an antibody titer for varicella. That will show if you are immune to the chicken pox. Thats what I had done. It proves that I had been exposed in the past and am still immune.

grunggy , my wife had gone to immigration doc , he asked her did she ever had chicken pox , she said NO but she realised that she was affected by chicken pox. now he says she is less immune( donot know what test he did on the blood sample , are u talking about the same antibody titer for varicella )or did u get the titer done by ur primary physician and got a report saying that ur still immune ?
