This story should not be new news to anyone but I figured I'd pass it along. It's basically confirmation of what we already knew - in ICA sometimes immunization records may not exactly match what the bloodwork would show. The story unfortunately doesn't give any specifics on Guatemala. And for those not aware, there is a titres exam that can be perfomed on a child to see if they have the immunities.

My pediatition said that the results of the tites are not reliable.
I signed an affadavit with the US government to have my daughter entirely reimmunized. I would imagine that everyone else adopting at the time I did (2006-2008) had to do the same.
Best, Cheryl
