Vaccination Costs Included? I didin't think so

In reading the US Embassy website it states:

On May 2, 2008, St. Luke's Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC), the Embassy's accredited medical facility, will increase the medical examination fee by U.S. $30.70 to cover the costs of administering the currently available new vaccinations. The new medical exam fees will be U.S. $213.35 for adults (15 years and older) and U.S. $185.35 for children (under 15 years of age).

To me this means the cost of vaccinations is included in the medical fee. I don't think this is correct but doing a cursory check of VJ I don't see anything. Please confirm for me that any additional vaccination costs are to be paid by the myself. My fiancee's vaccination records were lost by her Mother many years ago and she tells me there is no way to find a record of what shots she had as a child. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Best wishes,

Wow! Fantastic! I remember seeing a list of shots somewhere on here and their associated costs and I was thinking of robbing a liquor store or a bank to pay for them all! That's great news. Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, the vaccinations are already included with the medical fees at SLEC.

I think the 'other' vaccinations that you scrolled were about the Adjustment Of Status wherein you get additional shots once in the US (if required to complete the I-693).

If your fiancee didn't have any records of her immunizations (just like me), they will still administer shots that are age-appropriate at SLEC.

So, she may get 3 or 4 shots during her medical (depending on her age).

Good Luck to your fiancee!
