I'm afraid I'll be made to vaccinate too. I did get 2-3 shots as a child and one as an teen but can't prove it. Married an American so I have a list of like 15 shots I am going to need to get and some of those I don't need, but I know I'm going to be made to get them if I want to be with my wife.
I don't expect them to test me to see what I do have and what I don't. If they did test me I doubt I'd get any vaccines at all, haha, they'd probably ask to make use of the bugs I've gathered over the years.
I'm from the third world and have better health than most people I come in contact with. I also work from home which greatly limits the spread of whatever I may have that others don't. None of that matters, of course.
I am a grown up so I doubt that the shots can actually harm me, but now I'm wondering whether the shots can harm people around me that are not as used to fighting stuff by themselves as I am. Like I only go to the doctor if I see blood where I'm not supposed to see it, haha, but the people around me get a slight headache and drink 4 pills. Without any pains they are consuming pills daily...
To make matters worse if something were to happen to me I'd have to deal with it in America, where an ambulance ride can cost $1500. Like I don't think I've spent $1000 in hospital bills and meds since I was born, I don't think I've spent $500 in insurance...
I get sick in a third world country and I know I can get at least some guidance at no cost, some blood testing for free, something. Sadly I have to fear for my health in the last place I should have to.
Are you sure that you need to get the vaccines to immigrate?
So many times they outright lie and tell someone that they need vaccines.
They won't inform you of the exemptions.
But once you tell them that you know there are exemptions and want to sign an exemption form, they will reluctantly pull out the form and give it to you.
Schools here tell parents that all the time,
but there is no law here that requires children to be vaccinated to go to school.
They are just hoping that you are ignorant enough to go along with it.
So please, please ask and ask and ask about whether these vaccines are truly required or not.
You should be able to pay for your own blood work at the very least, to show what you are already immune to certain things and skip those shots.
And yes, an adult can become VERY unhealthy after vaccines, especially if you get a lot of them close together.
I just did the research for you @coincentrado ...
and there IS AN EXEMPTION that you can claim so that your vaccinations won't be required to immigrate to the USA.

P.S. Below is an article/video to watch that lays out some religious or moral reasons to decline vaccination:
