I got TDAP (Tetanus) and the MMR shots too. Mabigat kasi malapot yun sa Tetanus. I even got a bruise the day after. Yun sinasabi mo kasi na anti cervical, that's expensive. My aunt's an OB-GYN so the Gardasil costs 5,200 per shot. You need 3 shots to complete it. HPV shot. You get that thrice with an interval of 2 months per shot, I believe.

Get it in the States if you really want it.

Hi was reading the post but unfortunately super haba na nitong thread

I just wanted to ask if the shots are included with the original medical fee or if I need to pay for them?

I saw that you need to pay for the cervical cancer shot, how much was it? Salamat

[JORDANTONI09 10]

The shots that will be administered will depend on your medical history. They will give you age appropriate shots. It all depends on what the doctor feels is suitable for you. Bring your vaccination record if you have it.

The cervical cancer shot is around Php5,000 per shot. You need 3 of those for it to be effective. My doctor offers it for 4,200 per shot.

You can ask your OB-GYN.

P.S. You're not required to get the cervical cancer shot at St.Lukes.

I am sorry. I still am not sure of your answer. Are the necessary vaccinations for immigration only included in the original fee at St. Lukes? Thanks.

I am sure, when i was in st luke's i told to the nurse there whos gaving a vaccine shot if i could get a cervical cancer shot. the nurse said there that cervical shots is not incluide to the price that i pay in medical fee. (kainis nga mahal pa nman)a Even some woman there in st luke's want a shot's for that but its not incluide..

well some of my friends bfre. (i think old times) they said it was incluide,. i wonder also why??(di ko na pinilit kasi wala akong pera para sa vaccine na un.. )hahaha

My Fiancee just finished day 2 of the exam. They told her to come back on July 23 to get the immunizations. They said that since she had an MMR shot about three weeks ago she has to wait 30 days (July 23) to get the immunizations at St Lukes. I could not find any valid reason for this (what a surprise in the PI) unless they want to give her a second MMR. But one MMR shot is effective for about 95% of the population. They gave her the passport back, so I am concerned now that the embassy will not get her passport from St Lukes in time bec her interview is schduled for July 27.

I went to SLMEC July 14 (day after the bagyo) and arrived there at 12:04 p.m. I was done by 1:13 p.m.! Must be the bagyo. Except for the first floor (releasing), all the other floors were empty/only had max 4 clients. I have to go back though because they couldn't do a physical exam while I'm on my menstruation period. I still had to give a urine sample for the pregnancy test because they said that some women lie about being on their period so they can skip the pregnancy test (I don't know why women would lie about that.).

[JORDANTONI09 10]

They probably don't include it in the package since the cervical cancer shot (Gardasil) is more of a preventative measure to lessen the chances of developing that disease. Another reason could be the fact that it's pricey and like I said in an earlier post, it's a 3 shot series. You can get the shot at any age but it's most recommended for those who haven't had sexual contact yet. You can get the shots in the States. I think it's a little over $300 over there. It most probably varies. For now, you can get your routine pap smear test done.

Maybe your friends got the cheaper version of Gardasil. I think it's cheaper because it doesn't fully protect you from warts and such. I have no idea. Once you get to the States, you can get it there since it's for your protection in the long run.

Wanna know something funny? I found out that guys can get that shot too! lol.

@ryanrec That's odd. I guess there's a time frame that she needs to observe to get the second shot since she recently got it. Your fiancée can bring her passport with her to the interview at the Embassy and just submit it there.

@Armenia Lucky you! You didn't need to go through an entire day of waiting. I hope you kept dry that day.
