Immunization Requirements:
Newborns Less than 2 months of age (Birth to 1 month of age)

Documented written proof of immunization is required in order to fulfill the requirements of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. The immunization is required even though it may not correspond to what your doctor or public health department feel is necessary. The Panel Physician has no authority to recommend an exemption from the required immunization unless there is proof of a valid medical contraindication signed by your doctor.

Your newborn requires:

• Hepatitis B 1st vaccination
  
  or
  
  
• Antibody titer showing immunity to Hepatitis B

Written records of immunization can be obtained from your family physician or local public health department. Some but not all the required immunizations may be obtainable without cost from your family physician or local public health department. We recommend that you review the requirements with your family physician and that you obtain any necessary immunization prior to your appointment for the Immigration Medical.
