Vaccinations for Medical Exam

Hi all, still waiting for I-130 to be approved but I wanted to start thinking about the vaccinations my wife will need.

 

Where would be the 'best' and safest place for her to get the required vaccines and get proper vaccine record slips to bring to the medical exam when that happens?

 

I read on the USCIS site that the civil surgeon can administer the shots if the beneficary is lacking the appropriate vaccines but I've heard that this can cost substantially more since its a US physician administering the vaccines. Additionally, while the site mentions that all multi-dose vaccines (EXCEPT Covid) only require the first shot for immigration purposes, many of the vaccines are multi-dose vaccines (Varicella and Hepatitis for example.) So I was thinking it might be a good idea for her to go ahead and work on getting them done the next time she's in a major city.

What city or country? If Thailand, I would say Snake Farm/ Red cross clinic. Get them all done from start to finish over 6 months for about 100-120 bucks US. Look in her country for any type of Red Cross or similar establishment. They can offer all the vaccines needed at a usually reduced cost.

If she is interviewing in Manila then the best place is at the visa medical exam.

Nothing that you need to do. It is best that you do it at SLEC. You are paying for the medical and everything she needs is included.
