my daughter will be given 4 vaccines while my son will have 6.so far they didnt give us the option not to take the immunization. Good luck on Monday. I hope it's our last day on Monday. It's been very stressful waiting for so long. My monthly period is such a hassle i only need to finish my physical exam and immunization because they want to make sure there's no more spotting hopefully we get it all done on Monday.

Did both of your kids tested positive in the TST? What is the induration of the TST of your 2 year-old?

My child(2 yr old), his TST reading was 17mm and Chest x-ray was negative at SLEC in July. No history of TB or even known exposure to persons w/ TB or primary complex. I was just confused when we received our passports w/ the US visas, my child's passport has an annotation of, ' Class A or B (TB) req ATTN at USPHS POE'.

I visited my son's pediatrician, she told me that my child may have been exposed to TB but the doctor also doubt it since I am the only caregiver of my child since birth upto now, no yayas. My xray at SLEC is also negative. She advised me to get another chest xray for my child after 3 months, now, it is still negative.

I am just worried of what will happen to us at our POE in SFO next week. I hope someone can shed light on this matter. The ones that I read here are old threads, 2008 and 2010.

Their TST reading will be this Monday, Oct 21, 2013. I am a bit worried because my 2yr old has this big red mark on his arm where the TST was inserted. I am hoping we don't encounter any problems. I am hopping you could update me too just in case I would have the same problem. I'm praying the Medical results are okay.

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to have the medical at St. Lukes on a Sunday? And is it safe to schedule the interview 6 days after the medical?

I am currently working in Indonesia. I'll be flying to Manila on December 14 and I want to have the medical the following day, December 15. On the 23rd of December I plan to have my interview. I am not sure if St. Lukes will have enough time to forward my medical results to the US Embassy.

I need help/ before I schedule online.

Thank you VJ family:)

SLEC operates only on Mon- Fri. NO clinic on Saturday,Sunday and holidays. IMO, 6 days will be too risky, but if you claim to be healthy, your previous xrays were negative, then it may just work out for you.

Good luck

Update: During our POE in SFO, I was not even asked about the annotation on my child's passport, I even asked the Immigration officer if she wanted our xray cd at SLEC, she said, NO she only confirmed my hubby's USA street address and sent us on our way!

Good luck on your journey.
