According to "U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" technical instructions:

  • “Women who are pregnant are required to have a Chest X-Ray to immigrate. Pregnant women will need to provide consent for the CX-Ray. Pregnant women receiving chest radiographs will be provided abdominal and pelvic protection with double layer, wrap-around lead shields”.
  • "Pregnancy is not a contraindication for the administration of Td, Tdap, inactivated influenza, or hepatitis B vaccine"
If you are pregnant, unsure if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant please inform our staff upon your arrival.
