Public health!  It's free!  If you haven't had an MMR booster in your adult life, that's covered, as is TDap every ten years.  I got my flu shot while I was at the public health clinic, but that one is easy to get pretty much anywhere as well.  

What since when are vaccinations free? When I went to a travel doctor it cost me nearly $250 in vaccinations. Why would you want to get vaccinations when you could just get them at the doctor when you go for medical? Is there some type of advantage to doing it early? :s

Yeah some are free, but not all right? When I got my twinrix which is "hepatitis a/b" it costed me money.

NOA 2 has arrived at my fiance's in Texas!!! Best birthday present for me!.

 

Now what do we do?  What can I do to prepare? How long do things take for Montreal to get things and set up interviews ?

Well, twinrix brand has been depleted due to appropriations/recalls for about 6 months worldwide. Its a good thing that USA immigration does not require that for most adults coming from Canada anyways.

I got it about 1.5 years ago. Err, what exactly do they require Canadian's to have done? I can find a "generic" list of immunization's but not a Canadian one?

Now you get to wait some more. Wait for transfer to NVC, wait for case number, wait for transfer to MTL, wait for P3, wait for P4. 

 

If you don’t have your immunization records and your police check done, I would start on those. You can do your DS-160, but I would wait until you have a case number because they are only valid for so long (and it doesn’t take a million years to fill it out).

 

We were just over two months from NOA2 to interview schedule (November 13-January 18). Our interview is February 27, so 3.5 months after NOA2.

This is the list on one of the Canadian panel physician’s website

How long is the DS-160 valid for? I’ve never read that anywhere and didn’t see any reference to expiration on the application itself.

I'm getting my police clearance done Tuesday, ordered long form birth registration/certificate.  I had my immunization titers done. 

Is there anything else I can be prepping

does it matter when u get your police record? does it have to be within 30 days of the interview? or could I get it like 4 months before?

For Canada they are good for a year.

They aren't free at the medical either ($50 each or so on top of the base fee), and some require more than one dose usually spaced a month apart which then makes everything way more complicated than just getting them done early.
