We're trying to estimate the traveling dates without having problems later on so I want to know how many days does it take for the St. Luke's Medical Clinic to complete the test required including vaccinations. I've read couple VJ members here saying 2days but the 2nd day is basically for vaccinations. Would it be done before noon? My fiance and I are going to try catch a flight to her province in the afternoon and want to find out if it's possible... Any help will be appreciated.

Have you read this? Yes, the medical exams usually take 2 days. The first day is history, physical exam, chest xray. The second day is, hopefully, vaccinations. Will the vaccinations be done before noon? That is difficult to answer. It depends on the number of people waiting. In my case, my stepdaughter was there at 8AM, and was finished by 1:30PM.

IMO, I wouldn't reserve a flight that day...but the following day. But that's just me. I hope this helps you some. Good luck with the medical! :thumbs:

I just talked to a friend from US (she's married to a USC) and according to her it took only 1day for her to get all the medical examination together with the vaccinations.. Either way 1day extra would be safer to do. thank you for the information. :-)

When my wife did her medical, they told her to come back the next day at 1:30pm. I believe that is how they do it there. 2 days without any complications though for the medical.

Yeah, we got stories that starting at 6:30am there are people already waiting outside the Clinic so I think it's better to come in earlier as possible, and maybe staying in a nearby hotel would be best. Thank you everyone for the help. :-D

Here's the best schedule::

> Day 1...sleep in...have a leisurely late breakfast...avoid falling in line by arriving at St. Lukes around noon.

> Day 2...sleep in...have a leisurely late breakfast...get the vaccinations in the afternoon.

> Day 3...sleep in...have a leisurely late breakfast...fly to the province in the afternoon.
