Vaccination Questions

[Sabrina y Wilmer 0]

I have two questions about the vaccinations...

1) Does anyone know where I can find the list of required vaccinations in Spanish?

2) Does anyone know if it is acceptable to get the vaccinations in a local hospital?

I know that the medical exam has to be done by an approved doctor in Lima, but I was talking to a friend who went through the process in 2008 and she suggested that I have my fiance get his vaccinations at the local hospital here in our town to save some money rather than waiting for them to do it for him at the doctor who will probably charge us in $$ instead of Nuevo Soles.

Thanks for your help and support!!

I would start with vaccination records, in Peru most of the required ones are given to children automatically. The only ones I can recall not given are tethanus and flu (which is not really required). Hospitals, specially in the are where your future grew up will have records.

If there aren't any, any hospital like Essalud would do, just get records of it.

Here is the list of required vaccinations by the peruvian embassy in spanish... according to their instructions you should not get the vaccinations before going to see the embassy approved doctor however I have been told by various previous applicants that you are allowed to go to get them in other hospitals after being given permission by the medical examiner
