Once you have your NVC number, you can start the Medical process. You'll need to use only the Doctors reccomended by the Consulate.

Fernanda had her exam and her Doctor took most of the day. They performed the following:

Vaccinations

Mammogram

Blood Tests (for STDs, Syphilis and AIDs)

Gynecological

Chest X-ray

Here in Canada, at the medical, I got:

No immunizations (I had my vaccination records from school, so I didn't need any)

Blood test

Quick physical (listened to my breathing, took my blood pressure, etc)

Chest x-ray

I also spoke to the doctor and he wrote down any past medical history I had. What he writes there will go in the sealed medical envelope (don't open it!) along with the blood test results (I can see through the envelope in good light, so I saw what he wrote ).

Not sure what immunizations are required, but my records had Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Hep. B, so you don't need any more than that, at least.

Thanks for the information I was just curious as to how extensive it was.
