I'm currently in the US on a J1 and getting ready the forms for a To change status because I married my US citizen husband

I am confused about the medical exam. Do I need to do this before I submit all the forms? How long does the exam take, do you need to make several visits or is it just a one off?

I also read I need evidence of my vaccinations. I have no idea where any of them are, probably back in my hone country australia an long lost, is this going to be an issue??

You need to make an appointment with a USCIS-certified Civil Surgeon. The medical usually is two appointments, a few days apart. I would go to the Civil Surgeon for the first appointment and talk about your vaccine issue. S/he will talk through the options - they can test your blood for antibodies or s/he might be familiar with your country and normal vaccines there, and you can supplement the ones you are missing. The Civil Surgeon will give you the results in a sealed envelope and you send that sealed envelope in with your packet... don't open it! You can find Civil Surgeons at uscis.gov Good luck!
