Vaccinations are required in order to adjust status.

The cost of vaccinations can vary widely. If you have insurance through your spouse (or otherwise) it is frequently possible to get the vaccines for no extra charge at your doctor's office on a 'regular' visit. Or, you can try the county health department, and probably only pay 10-20$ per shot.

Once you get your vaccines completed, take the records to a civil surgeon and have them transcribe them to the I693. If you have them done at the CS, they will surely charge you much more money.

they said in papers that get your vaccination done by a designated civil surgeon......are you sure that i can have my vaccination done from anywhere and go to designated CS and ask him to transcribe details to I-693 form?

Yes best bet is to use the Health Department and take those records to the Civil Surgeon to be transposed.

Yes, as long as you take the records of the immunisations to the CS.

Unfortunately easier said than done. County health Dept's focus on children's vaccines, and adult's are not included in the vaccine shots needed for AOS.

Any personal experience comments also welcome.

Main thing is to get a civil surgeon who won't rip you off. They are sometimes difficult to find.

I agree with that statement, you should absolutely call your states health department, especially if you are short on money.

In most counties around where I live you can actually get vaccination for free by the state at certain clinics just by telling them that it is for immigration purposes or that you cannot afford them. This is perfectly legal and they have funds that are earmarked for the program.
