Medical/Vaccinations

[willchels 0]

Hiya folks,

Just wondering if any of you had troubles at the Medical. As I understand it, my immigrant hubby needs to get all vaccinations done so he can provide proof of this at the medical. Is that right? We have a list of 12 vaccinations and anticipate the medical in about 1 month, and now we're having trouble with National Health Service and getting him into an appointment as soon as possible. I just wanted to know if any of you have been through this and have any advice as to any possible problems with the medical that we should prepare for.

Many thanks!!!

You don't have to have them done before the medical. They can do them there, it's just that it's pretty expensive. He doesn't have to have all the vaccinations on the list. Look at the age requirements - he only needs the ones where he falls into the age category for it.

What trouble are you having getting him an appt? It seems strange that it would take more than a couple weeks to get in to see his GP.

At the embassy in Neaples they schedule the medical one day before the interview, and they give you there all the shots, take the blood samples and so on...

It's not cheap but, it seems to be the easiest way.

actually for the CR1 visa which the OP is going for you need the vaccinations before the interview..

but MargotDarko is right, you probably don't need all the vaccinations, there are different age requirements...

here is a chart to see which ones your hubby will need...

I was saying he doesn't need them before the medical. And actually, he wouldn't need the medical or vaccinations before the interview either. He just wouldn't be approved for the visa until the medical and vaccinations were done sucessfully. Sometimes people do the interview and medical on the same day and get approved for the visa pending medical results.

You guys are great! That was so helpful and you saved me lots of stress and money with that Vaccination Table. My hubby will only need a couple shots. I had him signed up for this three week Hep B course and it was going to cost us £40 per shot, but according to the table he doesn't need it! YAY! Thanks guys!
