I got a record card which had offical stamps for each jab.
I wasn't smart enough to think of getting an official letter or similar.
Good idea Liz

Just curious to know.....
My vaccination records have vanished off the face of the earth and so have no evidence to prove i have had the injections i had as a baby and when i was 4 years old (not sure what injections you have at that age).
What injections do i need for the visa (K1) and do i need to have them done by the interview? I have just had a tetanus shot on Monday. Do I need a MMR shot too? What else is required?
After two visits to my UK doctor - he couldnt find ANY vaccination records for me either - therefore I didn't exactly have a vaccination record. I called into the surgery this evening, saw the nurse and she has given me a pneumococcal and an influenza jab. On Monday she's giving me:- MMR, diptheria and tetanus and on Tuesday I get polio and a Hepatitus B. The way I look at it - at least I've got some sort of vaccination history now. She's going to put the jabs in a little blue book but on Tuesday Im going to ask them to give me a computerised printout. After only two jabs this evening - my arm feels as though its going to drop off - god knows how I'm going to be Tuesday night but what the hell!!

Re: Do I need to have my vaccinations done by the interview date?
Letter from the US Embassy, London:
For my age group, (18-64 years of age) reading from the chart which came with this letter, I only needed to have the tetanus/diptheria shot and the MMR jab.
I got these from the nurse at my local doctor's surgery for nothing and she filled in a booklet with dates and details for the jabs she'd given me. This was sufficient for the doc's in London.
Best of luck!

Important Notice to Immigrant Visa Applicants Concerning Vaccination Requirements
Recent changes to United States immigration law now require immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa.
Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are now required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirement, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
Mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, influenza type b (HIB), hepatitis b, varicella, pneumococcal and influenza.
...Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history and current medical condition.

Oh, I had the yucky Polio drops too, they were revolting, (I guess I was too old to be given them on a sugar cube - bugger)!!!

My vaccination records had disappeared also. I got MMR, Dip/Tet, and Polio booster.
And I agree, the polio drops tested like crap.
