Immigration Physical Exams Clinic in Brooklyn, NY

The immigration physical exam will check on your medical history, immunization history, and current health. The doctor will do blood tests to check for communicable diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea. These diseases are a public health risk. Children under 15 are normally not tested for syphilis or gonorrhea. The doctor will check for mental well-being, especially mental illnesses that are related to harmful or violent behaviors. You will also be examined for signs of drug abuse or addiction.
 
If you are between 18 and 64 years old, you will require immunizations/vaccines against tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, influenza (flu), and covid-19. Pregnant women may not need to have some of the vaccines.
 
Immigration physicals are different from standard physical exams. The purpose of the immigration physical is to screen for specific medical conditions that are considered public health and safety concerns by the U.S. government. The doctor does not need to examine or treat patients for diseases or medical conditions that the U.S. government does not deem relevant.

The tests that are required for the immigration physical will check for diseases that are considered to be public health risks.
 
Tests will be done to check for communicable diseases, including tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea (depending on age).
