@farzady Did you do X-ray  as part of your immigration medical with Dr.Lyndon office? if so, Is it that the lab is located in a different location (Lifelabs at St.Clair)?

X-ray is in the basement of the building and for blood work you need to go to the Lifelabs at St.Clair

[F2J_March 49]

Oh ok. Its weird that they let you do the medicals without IL. Generally we need to show IL to get our medicals done.

Hep B vaccine: Any ideas if we need the full course of 3 shots? Was anyone able to clear the medicals with just one shot?

It doesn't clearly say here...

Thanks!

I see Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas's office sends the medical results directly to the US consulate electronically. Is there any document that we need to show to the consulate officer on the interview day to prove that we have done the medical exams?

You will get immunity after the second shot but still you need to get third shot after 6 months

If you got the 1st dose very recently, only that will be required for US immigration purposes.  It's not very clear, but the page you linked does describe it in the section on "Insufficient time interval between doses".

Today, my wife and I got our Hep B vaccine (first shot) in a local pharmacy in Vancouver. Will get our Tdap booster after 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks later, will get the 2nd shot of Hep B. Hopefully we will be ready for the medical exam at that point of time.

@farzadyThank you for  sharing .  I booked it with health1medicals in Vaughan, Ontario after seeing your comment. I  live in the US so not sure which one is good.

 

Question: Hepatitis B and Tetanus (TD) Vaccines - Did you take the complete series of these two vaccines and submitted proof at the time of your immigration medical or Just the first one of the series will do for immigration? Thanks!

@DTCC ,  just curious to know since you are in US, why you are going through consular processing? I can also do it either way but want to understand it more, which one to go through? Thank you
