My fiance needs the full range of vaccinations. She lives in Bucaramanga. Does anyone know of any inexpensive clinics to get vaccinations? Is it best to wait until she sees the assigned doctors in Bogota?

My wife also lives in Bucaramanga, ask her to try the local red cross or while in Bogota try the red cross over there. I hear is the less expensive site for vaccination.

I am sending you their web-site.

HEY! THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO GET THE VACCINATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE VISA INTERVIEW IS VACUMEDICA. THEY HAVE ALL THE VACCINES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THE VISA. THE TELEPHONE NUMBER IS: 6 45 73 94 AND THE ADDRESS IS CALLE 35 # 22-32. THE RED CROSS HERE IN BUCARAMANGA ONLY HAVE INFLUENZA, HEPATITIS B AND VARICELLA.

We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

Most people have said that the Cruz Roja charges less than other places. Others have said that they are less expensive at the doctor's office if they get them the day of the interview. The best way to confirm this is by calling every entity, including the Immigration doctors. The vaccines needed for any immigrant visa are MMR, TD & varicella. Since the HPV vaccine is needed for AOS for women who are less than 26 years of age, it would be good to find out if it's cheaper to get it in Colombia.

Also, keep in mind that both doctors are very strict about getting vaccinated even a few weeks before the appointment. So try to get them about a week before the exam so they can approve them.

Diana is spot-on. Avoid taking shots more than a week previous to the MD visit. IF you do so, you may risk them pushing the vaccines again on you at an office that pays them kickbacks.

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

<My fiance only got one vaccine recently not sure which one all the others were from child hood and she did not get vaccinated for the ones where she had the illness and guess what the male doctor required no vaccinations at all. Others there were getting vaccinated
