How much are the vaccinations?

[pinoy0320]

hello all, my wife is preparing to get her medical check-up in shanghai. She only has 3 records of the required vaccinations listed.

 

i was wondering how much did you all pay for additional vaccination shots? Also, did you have to get them allt? it seems like a lot of shots for one sitting.. thank you all in advance.

I assume she will be coming to the US on a CR-1 or IR-1 immigrant visa by filing the I-130 so yes she will need to get all of the vaccinations she doesn't have records of. If she were coming on a K-1 or K-3 visa she could get them here but it's cheaper in China anyway.

Under the immigration laws of the United States, a foreign national who applies for an immigrant visa abroad, or who seeks to adjust status to a permanent resident while in the United States, is required to receive vaccinations to prevent the following diseases:

• Mumps
  
• Measles
  
• Rubella
  
• Polio
  
• Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids
  
• Pertussis
  
• Haemophilus influenzae type B
  
• Hepatitis B
  
• Any other vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices

Actually the list is age specific,

 

Age 18 - 64 are required to have:

• MMR
• Td
• Variccella (AKA Chicken Pox)
• The FLU if in season

As for cost? Perhaps a recent person through the medical can provide this.

It must not have been much, as she never mentioned the money. My wife even had to go back for a booster after the initial shots. She had no yellow book on herself either, just her daughter.
