Where get vaccines in Faisalabad/Lahore area?

[nadia&sameer 12]

Hi VJ members,

Has anyone been able to find a doctor in the Gojra/Faisalabad/Lahore area that actually carries the TdaP and Varicella vaccines? My fiance went to his medical in Lahore and was told he didn't need any shots (he's never had any). I'm assuming this was bcz he's on a K-1 so technically he doesn't need them until he gets here, but are frustrated because we still wanted them done due to the huge price difference between Pakistan and USA. He went back to the same place (Wilcare in Lahore) to get the shots and even though they have the shots listed on their website and told us they had them, they only had the Polio and MMR vaccines available once he actually got there. We've been calling around trying to find a doctor that carries those vaccines with no luck. If you've had your medical done recently and were able to get the TdaP and Varicella shots could you please reply with the name of the doctor and the city?

Thanks for any help you can give us.

Hi..

its a good idea to get the relevant vaccines administered in Pakistan as it would cost rather less.

You particularly want to know if TdaP and Varicella are available in Lahore/Faisalabad Area. Well, if the authorized physician doesn't have it, getting the vaccine from elsewhere will not be of any use, as it will not be recognized.

If convenient, you can go to Islamabad and have them administered there. I tried it myself, you just have to insist because its not mandatory for K-1. But i got my shots with a little nagging. So, don't go anywhere, only the authorized physician, in this case Aziz Medical Center www.amcpk.org

Thanks for the info, unfortunately Islamabad is too far to go. From my understanding he can get the shots from any doctor as long as we have them transcribed by a civil surgeon in the US. The locations in Lahore where you go to have the medical exam done don't have these vaccines for some reason even though they are listed on the US website. We may just have to bite the bullet and pay the $1000 and have them done in the US.
