Vaccine requirements for visa application

[Guest guest]

Does anyone on this list have experience with immigration and the

vaccination requirements? There is no mention of exemptions. Does this

mean I will need to be vaccinated or denied entry? I've had measles, mumps,

chicken pox, - will they require proof of immunity for exemption? Does

anyone have any suggestions for how to avoid these vaccines and still be

approved for entrance into the US?

Thanks very much for your time.

Proof of Vaccinations

Under the 96 Act, aliens seeking to immigrate permanently are inadmissible

unless they have been vaccinated against mumps, measles, rubella, polio,

tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, influenza type B and hepatitis B,

and any other vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory

Committee for Immunization Practices. This provision took effect September

30, 1996.
