Green card seekers won't have to get HPV vaccine

DALLAS — Immigrant girls and women will no longer have to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted virus to get their green cards.

Starting Dec. 14, the HPV, or human papillomavirus vaccine will no longer be on the list of immunizations immigrant females ages 11 to 26 must receive before becoming legal permanent residents.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the change on Friday. In a Federal Register entry, the CDC said it will require immunizations for which there is a public health need at the time of immigration or when there is a change of status to green card holder.

"More than half of the immigrants who come to the U.S. seeking opportunity are women," Silvia Henriquez, executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, said in a statement. "We thank the CDC for restoring their dignity and reproductive justice."

Girls and women seeking to become legal permanent U.S. residents were required to get at least the first dose of the HPV vaccine, which protects against some strains of the virus blamed for cervical cancer. It was added to the list of required vaccinations for immigrants in July 2008.

Soon after, a coalition of more than 100 groups immigrant, health and women's advocacy groups challenged the requirement, saying it was unfair to require the HPV vaccine for immigrants but not for most U.S. citizens.

Attempts to require the vaccine for American girls has brought emotional debate and complaints that such mandates intrude on family decisions about sex education. In Texas, lawmakers fought off a 2007 order by Gov. Rick Perry requiring the shots for sixth-grade girls amid questions about vaccine's safety, efficacy and cost.

At a price of $400 to $1,000 for the three-shot series, the vaccine also was an added burden on green card applicants already paying more than a thousand dollars in application fees and hundreds of dollars for mandatory medical exams. Insurance companies do not cover health services required for immigration purposes, advocates pointed out.

"It also put the financial burden on the individual woman and her family," Gabriela Valle, senior director of community outreach and mobilization for California Latinas for Reproductive Justice, said Monday. "Not only are you taking my rights to make an informed decision over my body, over myself, over my daughter, but you're having me pay for it as well."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil in 2006 to protect against the human papillomavirus. The CDC immunization advisory committee quickly followed up by recommending it for girls and young women.

For U.S. citizens, the committee's recommendations serve only to provide guidance on vaccines. But a 1996 change to the nation's immigration laws required anyone seeking permanent residency to get all the vaccinations recommended by the committee.

The CDC's newly adopted criteria to determine which vaccines will be required for immigrants says the vaccine must be age appropriate. It also must protect against a disease that either has the potential to cause an outbreak or has been eliminated in the U.S. or is in the process for elimination from the country.

Ist gemäss USCIS - USCIS Home Page - nicht mehr pflichtig.

Starting December 14, 2009, immunization against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and herpes zoster (zoster) will no longer be required. 74 Federal Register 58634 (November 13, 2009, effective December 14, 2009).

Wenn du auf der Seite nach "papillomavirus" suchst, findest du folgendes Dokument - http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Green Card/Civil_Surgeon_hiv_vaccination_ltr.pdf in dem dies auch steht (und die Leute darüber informiert wurden).


Cheers,

Apropos... Nur, um ein altes Thema mal wieder aufzugreifen:

Despite the public backlash (the vaccine actually became an issue in this year's Republican presidential campaign), many young women have been vaccinated, and a new study suggests that a form of herd immunity is already developing, in which the use of the vaccine is protecting women who haven't received it.

--> Just 6 years later, HPV vaccine may already provide herd immunity
