Can´t you have it done in the USA? Could be cheaper over here... Or they won´t do your medical for interview without it? And are you sure you weren´t vaccinated when you were a kid or something?

No - HPV is a really new thing - it's crazy - it's only recommended for girls under 12 and is not mandatory in the USA yet I have to get it because I am under 27. It is actually ILLEGAL to have if you are 27 or older!!! Because it is so new only one company sells the stuff and so they can pretty much charge what they want

I would love to get it done in the US but I am not sure if I will be allowed or not... I think I should be because I only need it for AOS... does that sound about right to anyone else?

So which diseases is this HPV against? If it´s not mandatory in the USA then I don´t know why you would have to be getting it...Did your doctor say that?

You're talking about Gardasil, right? There's been quite a bit of discussion on this in the Canadian forum b/c they apparently *are* requiring it (do some searches & you will find more info). But it is a series of 3 shots, I believe. I would normally think it would never be cheaper to do something health related in the US, but what you mentioned sounds absolutely crazy. I'd see about getting it done here for AOS. That is a crazy price.

It's to protect against cervical cancer, I believe. And yeah, it is not mandatory here, but apparently they are making people immigrating get it. Crazy!!

OK, well noone ever mentioned it in front of me so I guess I am just too old for that now since I am over 27 now Yeah I know a few USC people whose parents decided for them not to get any vaccination and so now they are like vaccine free...so why can USCs choose and we have to be dozed with everything? But my vaccinations were ok, so I got none.

I dont think HPV is a required vaccination for any visa. In fact for k-1/3 you dont have to get any as its a non-immigrant visa. The vacinations are required for AOS.

It's on the US Embassy website I think I can get away with getting it in the US for $360 like Rob said... £399 for a vaccine is crazy... I am just going to make sure I take print outs of everything that says K-1 is a non-immigrant visa and all the requirements so if they try to screw with me I can just wave it all in their face and at least have something to refer to!!
