Do you have a mental problem?

Are you trying to suggest with your links that I said anything incorrect?

You get an A+ for knowing how to find links online.

Go call you local Civil Surgeon and ask them if you are really just curious.

And I told you there are no accurate official links.

Go bother your local Civil Surgeon:

https://www.uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon

The only full statement you said that was correct is that I am an expert on the subject.

So questioning things like mRNA and also traditional vaccines is now a mental problem?

Sharing official sources is? Good to know.

You wrote

"They even left off the Varicella vaccine (for chicken pox) for which two are required. It costs me $1900 to purchase a 10 pack of Varicella."

Which is incorrect. On https://www.uscis.gov/tools/designated-civil-surgeons/vaccination-requirements they didnt mention it in itself but ADDED the phrase

"Any other vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP)."

If you look into this on the same page

"CDC is responsible for publishing the Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons. These documents and the HHS regulations set the requirements for the immigration medical examination and are binding on civil surgeons (See the CDC Vaccination Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons and 42 C.F.R. Section 34.3). "

Even on this link with "CDC Vaccine Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons" you will find your beloved Varicella vaccine.

You just need to scroll down or look at "standard ACIP recommendations." There you have https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/

or here

" 2-dose series at age 12–15 months, 4–6 years

VAR or MMRV may be administered*

Dose 2 may be administered as early as 3 months after dose 1 (a dose inadvertently administered after at least 4 weeks may be counted as valid)

You wrote: "The link you provided should be removed as it is misleading and not accurate. "

Why is that? All information is right there. Its a TREASURE of useful information.

Regarding your additional inaccurate statement (I can play the same game?), maybe your statements should be removed here because they are "misinformation".

"Pneumonia vaccine (PCV-20 or Pneumovax-23) is required for age 65 and over."

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/adult-age.html

Age 50 years or older who have:

Not previously received a dose of PCV13, PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21 or whose previous vaccination history is unknown: 1 dose PCV15 or 1 dose PCV20 or 1 dose PCV21.

"Special situations"

Age 19–49 years with certain underlying medical conditions or other risk factors** who have:

Not previously received a PCV13, PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21 or whose previous vaccination history is unknown: 1 dose PCV15 or 1 dose PCV20 or 1 dose PCV21.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html

"Routine vaccination with PCV

4-dose series at 2, 4, 6, 12–15 months"

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/hcp/index.html

"CDC recommends pneumococcal vaccination for children younger than 5 years and adults 50 years or older.

CDC also recommends pneumococcal vaccination for children and adults at increased risk for pneumococcal disease.

Follow the recommended immunization schedule to ensure that your patients get the pneumococcal vaccines that they need."

"I'm not sure what your point is. Everything I wrote was accurate."

No, this is not the case.

Funny, isnt it?

My link was inacurrate (outright), but your statements too. Beautiful world.

"And I told you there are no accurate official links."

The uploaded content from the CDC, USCIS, is mirroring and confirming some of your made statements.

If you assume that your statements were right and accurate, then SOME of the information uploaded online must also be right and accurate, so the statement ""And I told you there are no accurate official links." cant be true.
