Ok update - fiancé went to do his medical today at MoBay Hope. He didn't need any additional shots so all he paid was the $120 for the medical. If your fiancé finds his immunization card it's best he get it checked out at a clinic and get whatever else shots he needs before the actual medical. My fiancé was able to get his shots at a clinic in Hanover for free. Hope this helps!

Thanks JSC. He found his immunization card. But he didnt get to have someone review it. I will try to see if he can. But as for getting shot before the medical, i heard some stories that sometimes the appointed doctors dont accept the recent shots. However i will see if he can get it for free as well.

My fiance has his imunization records from when he was a baby but here in Jamaica they don't require as many as the U.S. What additional shots do you suppose may be required? What is the name of the clinic in Hanover, and which shots would you recommend, or does the clinic in Hanover know which ones?


Thanks for the congrats

My fiance had his medical Sept 3 at Medical Associates Hospital for Dr Michael Banbury in Kingston. They told him the exam would cost $120 but bring $300 in case he needs any immunizations. He had his original immunization record from when he was a baby. They told him he needed 4 immunizations and charged an additional $160. $40 per immunization? Has anyone heard of this? There was even some other additional thing they charged him for and he even had to go to the bank and pull a little more money out to pay them. So they got the whole $300. Frustrating they say upfront how much to bring and since they know you have it, they find ways to take it all. I'm happy for those who didn't have such a negative experience.

By the way, congrats VJ on your upcoming interview and best of luck as well


Woops! I congratulated VJ and it's Our Destiny that I meant to congratulate

Thanks Shelsgirl smile.png Lol. But yea. Hes suppose to pick up the medical record today. They told him the same thing about $300 he should bring. However, he more than enough to cover all the expenses incurred for medical day. Nothing more. He spent about $250 and had a little something left over.

And i agree with you about them knowing you have $300 so they try to tax you on something. Like for instance , he did the eye exam and i think one of his eye is slightly bad per him. So the lady said don't worry i got you covered so he slipped her like $2000- 3000JMD, if Im not mistaken. So i completely understand what you went thru,

overall he got 3 shots and that's including him bringing the immunization card.

My fiancé experienced the same thing with the lady and his eyes but he didn't tip her lol. He said he trusts no one but he would go back and give her something when he get his visa lol

The medical center will ask you when you're appointment is so they can schedule your appointment according to when your interview is. It isn't likely they will allow you to get the appointment without the letter but, you can try
