You can get the vaccinations elsewhere cheaper and bring the vaccination record with you when you see a civil surgeon. You are not required to get another medical if yours was done within a year of filing for AOS, but a lot of civil surgeons insist on giving one and charging for it anyway. You may to need to call around and check out the post here on VJ about civil surgeons who don't rip you off.

The only vaccinations required for AOS are MMR, Tdap/TD, varicella(unless you had the chickenpox) and flu shot(only during flu season> Oct.-Mar.). You only need the first shot in a series to file for AOS.

If you are adjusting from a K-1 and had your medical within the last year, then you do not need blood tests or a TB test. If you need to get the full medical, then the civil surgeon must perform those as part of their medical exam.

My husband needed his mmr, flu shot, and varicella so we went to our family doctor for that. I had him under my insurance by then already. We called around for a civil surgeon that would transcribe the shots to I-693 without making us do a physical. He had his TB done before he came to the US...but my brother had his TB done at a local free clinic. Also I think you should get all that ready do when you get an RFE for the I-693 (your shots) you can send then right away.
