Public Comment: Vaccine Requirements for Immigrants

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking public comment on a set of proposed criteria to determine which vaccines recommended by the CDC should be mandatory for immigrants seeking admission into the U.S. or seeking to become permanent residents. Under the proposed rule, http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-7934.htm, published in the Federal Register on April 8, a vaccine recommended by the CDC will become mandated for immigrants.
