Title: Going overseas
Post by: Swazee on November 03, 2014, 04:14:54 PM
Hey, guys.

I've looked around the internet for some answer, so hopefully I've posted this in the right place!

I'm planning to move over to America (from Australia) but I'm worried about how I would get my shots.
Does anyone know if I would have to go through the whole process in America again (therapy and such)? or would I be able to show my referral and they would accept it?

Thank you!

If your health care team followed the WPATH standards there should not be a problem. I think a referral would be adequate especially if you are on HRT now.  :)

Thanks so much for the quick reply!
You have no idea how relieved I am of that :D
