Medical Exam Vaccines if "Potentially" Pregnant

[engineer2018]

I am a dependent on my husband's employment based application. Our medical exam is scheduled for early September. That was the soonest available appointment.

I am hoping to become pregnant. I'd rather not delay starting our family because of the MMR vaccine, which isn't safe during or immediately before becoming pregnant. I received the MMR vaccine in 1990 and a booster in 2010. I have all my records from the public health department back home.

Is "planning a pregnancy" sufficient reason to skip the MMR vaccine? Potentially I could be pregnant, but not yet detectable, at the time of the medical exam.

What I have learned, it?s better not to get pregnant for a month after the vaccine. If you are pregnant (which of course you can find out) then you can get opted out for not getting the vaccine. The doctor will write down, you are pregnant and therefore cannot receive the shot.
If you like to get pregnant (they can still write down, the reason for not getting the vaccine) and it?s up to the officer if it okay for him to accept it. I think it?s a solid and good reason why you opted out for it.
Good luck! 🙂

If you prove you're pregnant then the vaccine is contraindicated as per the CDC and therefore you can get a medical waiver for this. But if you go there and say you might be pregnant, they may not note it down as contraindicated, because otherwise anyone could use that as an excuse to avoid the vaccine. Planning a pregnancy won't get you the waiver, because at that time you're not contraindicated. Spend some money on a more expensive pregnancy test once you think you're pregnant, as they can detect pregnancy earlier than some of the cheaper ones.

There is a test to verify if the levels of this vaccine are enough to don't get the vaccine again
