Quick question about medicals

[Cassie 8]

Take all information the doctor may or may not need to ascertain what he need to know to fill out the forms. If the immunization card is complete, that's probably enough. if your fiance had a titre done, take the paperwork proving it.

Because I had a long medical history, I wrote everything down to refresh my memory, and took along my medication that I was taking. My word was good enough for the doctor on those counts.

Hmm so even though he has the goverment card showing that he's had all immunizations needed by immigration and it's signed by a doctor that may not be enough? And does he HAVE to have the titre test regardless? Sorry for all the questions. Just confused. I want to make sure he has everything he needs when he goes there so he only has to make the one trip and be done with it.

I didn't have a government card. I had my doctor write down which vaccinations he had given me, and on which dates, and he signed that. I then had a copy of the results of the titres he ran for the vaccinations he did not give me because I had previous immunity.

A lot of those are age specific... the required vaccinatrions by age are given on www.panelphysicians.com

i had my medical this morning. went pretty much just like gsmacleans (thanks! ) did in his wonderful post from his experience. i also only had a letter from my doctor for vaccinations that they accepted. longest part of the medical was the doctor trying to find my heart murmur (no luck) but the blood drawing wasn't fun.

now we wait.
