immagration and exemptions

[fyrflymommy]

a friend of mine is from New Zealand and has never had any vaxes. she's married to a U.S. citizen and has been living here several years.

she told me today that she HAS TO get ALL her vaxes now bcuz of immigration laws.

does anyone know if you can be exempted?? i've tried a google search and didn't come up w/ much.

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The doctor said that to me too when I went for my immigration check-up. It is NOT true!

You can waiver them! See my other post here, I am already claiming a waiver for the required immunizations.

Me too!! I'm furious as they insisted I had to have shots or I wouldn't be approved. You can claim exemption but they arent forethcoming about it.
