i just got confused as to when the vaccination will take it's place... is it during the medical examination schedule or it should get vaccination first in family physician before the medical examination and just bring the proof of all the vaccination that is taken? thanks...

Not sure about Armenia but all vaccinations required are included with the cost of the medical exam in Philippines. If you have the immunations ahead of time you must make sure you have proof of them... No one needs all of the vaccinations on the list, many are age dependent, etc... so don't rush off and get 10 shots...it will be a waste of time and money.

Check which vaccines are needed for the age group of the immigrant. I guess it is up to you if you want to do it with the medical examination or separate. I would prefer to do it together and it get over with, also make sure the place you are getting it at is a registered place.

It depends on what country the beneficiary is from. For the UK the cost of the vaccinations are not included in the medical so it's better to get them free in advance from your doctor then bring proof to the medical. But if they are included in the medical cost in your country then you might as well get them done on the day. Bring written proof of what you've had in the past either way as there's no point in getting injections you don't need!

charlynn,

Okay great Philippines!! All immunations are included at NO EXTRA CHARGE at St Lukes. Most people do not have medical insurance in Philippines so the free shots are the best bet. My wife had no records of any immunations. She went to St Lukes, they asked her questions and then based on her answers and the lack of any records they gave her all the necessary immunations at no extra charge. As I recall she only ended up having like 4 or 5 shots. Many on the list are age dependant so there were several that she did not need.

GOD BLESS

David

Yes.. if you HAVE immunization records you should bring them with you. Even then there is no guarantee that St Lukes will honor them. For example if they were given by a particular smaal town doctor in a province setting they may not count those.

In my case my wife had basically received no "real" medical care or treatment in her life. She was probably given some standard immunations along the way, in school, etc but there was no evidence of this. The doctors at St Lukes simply interviewed her and determind what immunations she needed based on her age, history, did you have measles when you were a child, etc...

I had read the list of required immunations and thought that I had to get those for her before the St Lukes exam but learned from St Lukes directly that they will include any and all immunations she needs free of charge at the exam. This is not the case for all countries but it is the case for the Philippines.
