Just planning ahead for the medical exam and vaccinations at Aziz Meidcal Center in Islamabad. Have a couple of questions and would really appreciate if someone who has been through the process can answer them. Thanks in advance.

#1: Do I need to bring along the immunization and vaccination records for the vaccines and other shots received shortly after the time of my birth? I am kinda nervous because I do not have them.

#2: What medical tests and vaccinations do people normally go through?

#3: I plan on showing them my medical test reports from when I applied for my student visa to US like 6 years ago. Would they be helpful during the medical examination or not really?

#4: How many days do they require to get your medical examination report and all the tests ready to take to the US embassy?

I am from Costa Rica and I am going to follow the checklist the embassy sent me in the packet 3, Perhaps your embassy handle it similar to the one ins my country.

They will send you a list of doctors approved to do the physical examination, you should bring your vaccine records with you but if you don't have them, they will give your the vaccines according to your age ( you need to pay for them )

The radiologist will make an x Ray of your lungs to make sure you don't have tuberculosis

The approved laboratories will make a blood test ( VDRL) to make sure you do not have any STDs / HIV+

The doctor will just make sure you have the vaccines required, that you don't have untreatable TB or STDS that you haven't been or are a drug user and that you don't have any mental issues :) , he / she might take a peek of your genitalia ( to make sure you are the gender you said you are) .

A prior medical examination performed more than 6 months ago and a practitioner not approved by the U.S. embassy in your country won't be valid.

At least in Costa Rica , the medical has to be done one week ahead of the interview

Hi,

If you have your vaccination records, will they take a look at them or give you those vaccines again?

seeking for this info too

You don't need to bring any vaccination records unless you have them. They will give you the vaccinations at the time of medical. So don't worry.
