Hi, We did the I-693A but took a while because I was busy and also needed to find a us civil surgeon. You might have some difficulty getting the office person to understand that all you need is a vaccination form filled out and not an exam, but once they ask the doctor and the doctor says yes, you just have to know how much they will charge for it. I found a range of prices between $25-$100 without exam. But in our case I made one mistake, I did not go to the board of health first. The MMR shot was $67 whereas at the public health office it was $12. If you don't know how to find your board of health, google it. You will save yourself a nice chunk of money. I wish I could get my $55 back!
