I have a son who will be 3 years old in April.
He is still in Japan and we plan to enter Hawaii in mid-June to start preschool in July.
We are still undecided on when we will be able to get insurance for our son, so we are planning to get the necessary vaccinations in Japan before entering the country.

So I am having trouble finding out about this.
① The vaccine for Hepatitis A is 2 doses of Aimgen approved in Japan
→ I will get an additional dose at a pediatrician in Hawaii after 6 months
Will Aimgen be recognized as a vaccine for Hepatitis A ？

② MR is I have been vaccinated, but not for Otafuku.
Should I give MMR ？ Is it OK to give only mumps ？

I have inquired at preschools and Japanese outpatient clinic for vaccines for overseas travel but still do not know.
If you have any experience or know more about this, I would love to know.

Thank you very much.

どなたかから返答いただけましたか？
彼はまだ日本におりというのは3歳の息子さんの事ですか？質問主さんは今ハワイにいるのでしょうか？今から探して7月から通えるプリスクールは見つからない思います。もしかしたら特殊な所があれば受け入れてもらえるかもしれませんが。普通は学校が始まる1年前位にはもう定員が埋まっている所がほとんどだと思います。
予防接種に関しては息子さんがお世話になる小児科を決めて、そこのドクターにアドバイスを貰う事になるのでは無いでしょうか？

I don't know if this will be helpful as it is a bit old, but
Here is the information about the immunization shots when my son came to Hawaii in 2018 at the age of 4.

MR, mumps, and chickenpox are live vaccines in Japan, so we had to re-give inactive vaccines.

Hib is covered by one MMRV （ combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox ） in Hawaii.

As a result, the inoculations I had in Japan were much wasted.
Even if I had received all the routine inoculations, I would have had to get 4 additional inoculations: 1 quadruple combination DPT-IPV, 1 MMRV, 1 measles, and 1 Hib.

In my case, I myself had come to HA first and consulted with the pediatrician, but was told that I could not proceed until he arrived
My husband and son arrived,
I requested the shots along with the physical examination to be submitted to the preschool,
and checked them against my mother-child book. I checked it against my mother's health handbook and got the necessary inoculations3.

Central Union can get you in if you donate money. There are many Japanese children who are expatriates and come in halfway through the year. The local resident group has an exam every year in January, but there are no children who come in from the middle of the year because they are expatriates or something. Recently in the last three or four years, the popularity of the school has decreased and if they take the exam, they all pass, so that may have something to do with it.

Hello.
I just moved to Hawaii from Japan last October
and enrolled my daughter in Central Union.
We got in without any test or interview. ！
Since I didn't understand English very well, a Japanese speaking person from Central Union accompanied me to visit the school.

When I arrived in Hawaii, I made an appointment to visit the school and was allowed to tour the school. I visited a pediatrician who speaks Japanese and got a certificate for necessary vaccinations. I showed my MCH handbook to the pediatrician and everything went smoothly, including the missing vaccinations ？ ！.
