US Citizenship Immigration services

WHAT ARE THE VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES?

Section 341 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 imposed certain vaccination requirements on all persons seeking green cards in the U.S. These requirements apply to persons seeking to adjust their status to permanent residence in the U.S. as well as to those who apply for immigrant visas to enter the U.S. if the application was filed after September 30, 1996. It does not apply to persons applying for nonimmigrant (temporary) visas. At the present time, the government is not applying the vaccination requirements to refugees.
Below is a list of required vaccinations and is subject to adjustments as directed by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Measles / Mumps / Rubella
Polio
Tetanus / Diphtheria / Pertusis (TDAP)
Hepatitis B
Chickenpox / Varicella
Influenza B
Rotavirus
Hepatitis A
Meningococcal Meningitis
Steps involved in this process:
Call either offices and set up an appointment for a physical, at that time you will probably get a PPD skin test to check for TB exposure. If you have a positive reaction then you will need to get an xray done.In addition there is a blood test that is done at your first visit. vaccination status is assessed and if you need any vaccines they will be offered to you.
Please do not go to your own physician for this you need to see a Civil Surgeon who has been approved by the USCIS.

Travel Vaccination for India in NYC | Vaccine Medical Clinic New York City, Poughkeepsie NY

Traveling to India?

Taj Mahal
India is vibrant with various cultures and languages, beautiful places to visit but what if you fall sick due to yellow fever?

 
Before visiting India, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)
To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria, if you need it.
Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.
CDC recommends that you see a health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. If you have a medical condition, you should also share your travel plans with any doctors you are currently seeing for other medical reasons.
If your travel plans will take you to more than one country during a single trip, be sure to let your health-care provider know so that you can receive the appropriate vaccinations and information for all of your destinations. Long-term travelers, such as those who plan to work or study abroad, may also need additional vaccinations as required by their employer or school.
Although yellow fever is not a disease risk in India, the government requires travelers arriving from countries where yellow fever is present to present proof of yellow fever vaccination. If you will be traveling to one of these countries where yellow fever is present before arriving in India, this requirement must be taken into consideration. See Yellow Fever Vaccine Requirements and Information on Malaria Risk and Prophylaxis, by Country for more information.
Be sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date. Check the links below to see which vaccinations adults and children should get.
Routine vaccines, as they are often called, such as for influenza, chickenpox (or varicella), polio, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), and diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) are given at all stages of life.
Routine vaccines are recommended even if you do not travel. Although childhood diseases, such as measles, rarely occur in the United States, they are still common in many parts of the world. A traveler who is not vaccinated would be at risk for infection.

As a travel consultant, you can add value to the service you offer your clients by referring them to International Travel Health Consultants for a pre-travel medical visit. By taking advantage of the service facilities and products offered by ITHC, you will be able to:

  • Save precious time discussing health matters, which you may not be comfortable with your clients.
  • Provide your clients with outstanding travel medicine service and guaranteed up-to-date advice
  • Ensure that your clients have a healthy trip and want to travel with you again.
  • Travel is meant to Be Fun and Healthy Travelers Have More Fun...
  • We are sure you will be convinced of the benefits of referring your clients to ITHC for their pre-travel preparation. Our facilities are conveniently located in Poughkeepsie and New York, New York. We encourage you to explore our services by personally visiting the ITHC facility nearest you.

Benefits To The Traveler

Regardless of whether travelers are going for business or pleasure, singly or in groups, a visit to an ITHC facility will ensure the best pre-travel preparation.

Benefits To The Travel Agent

A traveler who remains healthy during travel will be encouraged to travel again. If a traveler is pleased with the recommendations of the agent he/she will be more likely to use the agent again. With frequency of travel at an all time high, and with the reemergence of tropical diseases due to climactic and demographic reasons, it behooves the travel agent to make a recommendation to the traveler to obtain pre-travel advice.
The travel industry has a special opportunity to add value to their services by promoting the positive aspects of preventative travel health. The alternative to agents providing positive health assistance is for clients to avoid travel due to unknown risks.
Prior to the emergence of travel medicine as a medical specialty during the 1980s, many in the travel industry believed if an agent suggested that a client schedule a visit to the doctor prior to a trip, the client might view the suggestion negatively - so negatively, perhaps, that the traveler might even cancel the trip for fear of catching some incurable, exotic disease. As the first line of information for travelers, travel agents have historically advised travelers when passports and yellow fever vaccinations are required for entry to a country, but have avoided bringing up health risks. This has changed.
Recently, the International Society of Travel Medicine, ASTA, Association of Canadian Travel Agents, USTOA, Delta Airlines, Air Canada and Society for the Advancement of Travel for the Handicapped joined in a consensus statement :
  • Advise clients of inoculations required/recommended for their destinations.
  • Suggest getting professional health advise on recommended prophylaxis.
  • Warn of the presence of Malaria in a country.
Pre-Travel Preparation:
Travel Medicine is MORE than ‘SHOTS’
At ITHC, the pre-travel consultation focuses on recommended vaccinations (by the Center for Disease Control), required vaccinations, pills, other preventative means and health education for the traveler.
At ITHC, we are updated on a daily basis on disease outbreaks worldwide so that our clients are provided with the best possible advice.
Direct Support
ITHC also provides phone support to travel agents. We welcome brief inquiries from travel consultants to answer specific questions that a traveler may ask prior to visiting ITHC. Please note, however, that ITHC's reception staff is not medically trained and cannot give medical advice, i.e. recommendations. If the doctor is busy consulting when you call, leave your name and number and the doctor will return your call.
