Medical Exam

[acto 2]

My wife had her medical exam done back in September at the Health Care Center of Guangdong International Travel on Huali Road, Zhujiang New City, Guangzhou. Transportation and appointment scheduling were handled by the same company from her city. It was 60RMB one way. She got to the clinic around 9:30am and was out the door by 10:30am. Just your basic checkup: blood tests, height and weight measurements, blood pressure, color recognition, vision and hearing tests, X-ray, body temperature, stethoscope check.

They gave her four shots: Td, Varicella, MMR and Influenza (flu). She was told to come back in six weeks for another round of shots.

The total cost was 1195 RMB plus 120RMB for transportation.

They wanted to make sure that you're all right after the shots so she had to sit there for a few more minutes. She received one yellow booklet but an extra booklet was not available on request.

She picked up the sealed medical exam results envelope two days later at the transportation company.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you very much for explaining your experience with this part of the visa process. It is very helpful and gives me a better idea what happens =)

Why coudn't she get a second copy? Or are the sealed papers the same as the yellow book?

And this is the first time I heard they want you back in 6 weeks for more shots?

Can someone help clear this up, we are almost at this point.

Thanks

The yellow book should show everything, inoculations given.

Question: If you can't get all the vaccinations at once, can this disrupt the interview process? My understanding is that most go to Guangzho and have the medical, then attend the interview two days later. Thanks in advance for any information.

My fiance was told she needs a follow up shot. Anybody know which one she needs? She is now in the USA and we are married. About to be added to my health insurance next week.

My wife needs the second shot also. It is my understanding that is is the second in a series for hepatitis. The complete series should be completed within one year.

My wife and I just took the subway to the medical place, and it was basically right outside the subway stop.
