Good luck!

Yes, However, just beware, that just because you get them completed prior to the medical examination does not mean that the physician will accept the immunization record, or that he will not need more shots.

Check your panel physicians for your country.

Don't know all that's needed but Andrews will accept prior shots & tell U

additional ones needed like the flu shot (def between Oct-Mar) I also

understand they are a tad bit cheaper than Medical Associates & approx.

the same wait time.

I know that the clinic in Ocho Rios behind Scotia use to give adults shots

a certain time every month free only hep shots were charged for, maybe

there R more clinics but calling around will save some money.

On the medical history form the vaccinations are listed. In the middle of the form.

And do heed PinkrLion's advice. Another Jamaican OP else posted that they got their vaccinations before going to their medical and the doctor advised they would have to re-administer the vaccinations. This resulted in them having to schedule a second interview with the embassy to present their medical examination report.

Yep Medical Asscs. does that...its dishonest because

even your childhood card is accepted at Andrews, an

employee I dropped there less than 3 mths ago had no

probs with record , they just needed the flu shot, xray

& routine tests required by panel doctor. Andrews is the

definite way I'd go, they picked up results in 7 days.
