    • Description:
      This table describes the immunization schedule for US-bound refugees, and includes vaccines given as part of the new CDC-PRM expanded immunization program in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal (shaded boxes). As part of this program:

      • Refugees will receive up to 2-4 doses of a vaccine series based on time before departure. IOM will take previous vaccine history into account if reliable and available and document this on the DS 3025 form.

      • First doses of all vaccines are given at the overseas medical screening exam, approximately 3-6 months before departure for most refugees.

      • Most second doses of vaccine are given 2 months after the first dose.

      • Refugees who undergo repeated medical examinations overseas may receive additional doses of vaccine.

      • No routine live virus vaccines will be administered by IOM within 4 weeks prior to departure except in special outbreak settings. CDC will provide additional notification in these situations.

      • New Technical Instructions for Polio Vaccination apply to refugees. More information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/panel/technical-instructions-polio-vaccination-applicants-us-immigration.html.
