Medical in Tokyo

[K-mat 7]

I went for my medical at the Tokyo medical and surgical clinic today.

Before I went I had:

- 4 covid vaccines

- MMR titer test

- TD vaccine

- Hep B vaccine (1st dose)

 

When I arrived I had to go straight to room 15, not the main desk.

I had blood drawn

I had a chest x-ray

I had an eye test, height and weight

I had a very cursory physical check - throat, eyes palpitate the abdomen, listen to chest and heart.

 

Then she told me that I need to have an additional 

- flu vaccine

- covid vaccine (must be within one year)

-  polio vaccine (regardless of whether I had one as a child.)

 

She let me off on TDap because it has tetanus and I had my TD 2 days before and the rest of the hep B course because there is no time.

 

The whole thing cost 70 000 yen (base cost 30 000). So.

 

Hope this clarifies for someone.

For reference, the 2 vaccines that I had before at the doctors office were 5-6000 yen each.

 

The titer tests I got were 8000 yen for:

Measles

Mumps 

Rubella

Hep B

Thank you!  It was helpful for me as my husband I prepare for this stage of the process, although we are not in Tawain- it helps us prepare for what may happen.
