What we provide, and what we do not
We provide the vaccinations needed for the vaccination portion of the U.S. immigration medical examination requirements, and a dated written record of each dose we administer.
We do not perform the immigration medical examination, complete immigration medical forms, or sign Form I-693. Only a civil surgeon may do that. A civil surgeon is a doctor that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has designated to perform the immigration medical examination, and you find one through the USCIS doctor locator (opens in a new tab). We are not a civil surgeon.
The usual order is worth knowing. USCIS advises applicants not to try to complete the vaccination requirements before a civil surgeon has examined them, because a required vaccine may not be medically appropriate for everyone. See your civil surgeon first, find out which vaccines you are missing, then come to us for those vaccines and take our written record back.

Which vaccines U.S. immigration requires
U.S. immigration law requires proof of vaccination against mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus and diphtheria, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B, along with other vaccine preventable diseases recommended by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. In the current CDC instructions the full list also covers rotavirus, hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, varicella, pneumococcal disease and influenza.
Which of those apply to you depends on your age and on what you have already received, so not every vaccine on the list is required of every applicant. Influenza is only required during the flu season, which for these purposes runs from October 1 through March 31. Your civil surgeon decides what you still need after reviewing your records. The vaccines we keep in stock are the ones listed in the table above.
The COVID-19 vaccine is no longer required for immigration purposes. USCIS stopped requiring documentation of it in January 2025, and the CDC removed it from its instructions for civil surgeons in March 2025.
The current requirements are published by USCIS (opens in a new tab) and the CDC (opens in a new tab).
Same-day immigration vaccine appointments
Need an immigration vaccine quickly? We offer same-day vaccination appointments, when available, for patients who need to complete required vaccinations for their U.S. immigration medical examination. Call (212) 734-3000 and a member of our office will tell you what is open today.
What to bring
- Any vaccination records you have, including records from another country.
- Any paperwork your civil surgeon gave you, such as a list of the vaccines you still need.
- Photo identification.
Written records matter here. A civil surgeon can only count doses that are written down, because self reported doses without written documentation are not accepted. That is why we give you a dated record of every vaccine we administer.
If your civil surgeon asks for a blood test to show that you are already immune, rather than another dose, we can draw that here.
Immigration vaccines: common questions
Can I get my immigration vaccines here?
Yes. USCIS says you may obtain the required vaccines from your private healthcare provider. Because only a civil surgeon is authorized to complete the vaccination part of Form I-693, you then return to your civil surgeon with proof that you received them. We give the vaccine and the written proof at the same visit.
Do you complete Form I-693?
No. Only a civil surgeon may complete the vaccination assessment on Form I-693, and we are not one. We provide the vaccines and the dated written record that you take to that appointment. Use the USCIS doctor locator (opens in a new tab) to book the examination itself.
Should I get the vaccines before or after my medical examination?
After, in most cases. USCIS advises applicants not to attempt to meet the vaccination requirements before a civil surgeon has evaluated them, because a required vaccine may not be medically appropriate for a particular person. Go to that appointment first with whatever records you have, find out what you are missing, then come to us.
Is the COVID-19 vaccine still required for a green card?
No. USCIS stopped requiring documentation of COVID-19 vaccination for applicants for adjustment of status in January 2025, and the CDC removed it from its instructions for civil surgeons in March 2025.
What if I cannot find my vaccination records?
Bring whatever you have, including records from another country. If a dose cannot be documented, your civil surgeon will tell you whether you need to repeat it or whether a blood test showing immunity is appropriate. That decision is theirs. We can give whichever vaccines you are then told you need, and we can draw the blood test if one is asked for.
How much will my visit cost?
A $65 administration fee for the visit, plus the cost of each vaccine from the table above. A pre-travel consultation is not required, so there is no $95 consultation fee. We do not accept insurance, and you receive an itemized receipt to submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
How do I book an immigration vaccine appointment?
Call us at (212) 734-3000, which is the quickest way, or request an appointment online (opens in a new tab) and enter immunization as the reason for your visit. Bring your vaccination records and any paperwork from your civil surgeon.
Do I have to be a traveler to come to you?
No. We are a travel medicine practice, and we also give routine and required immunizations for adults and children, including the vaccines on the immigration list. See routine vaccines and CDC immunization schedules.
