Jingwen was K-1, and we got a number of shots while in China because they were cheaper. We just had to make sure that we had the shots properly recorded in her little yellow International Certificate of Vaccination booklet.

That shouldn't be a big deal, you're SO would need to get this done at one of the clinics that does the exam. I have heard that the clinics might baulk a bit at doing this before someone has the P4 though.

 

You could also hold off and get this done at the exam as well. We are K-1 and intend to get them the same day as the exam because of the holidays that follow our interview date. I'll try to remember to post our experience with this in a few weeks, if not hound me a bit.

I've also read here that the clinic would balk at giving all those shots before you pass the interview. They said to come back for it because it does make sense to have all those shots before they give you an OK to leave the country. If they denied your visa you would have taken the shots for nothing.

 

If some of the clinics do still say that, then after your interview in the morning or the day you pick up the visa, go back for the shots.
