Word of advice: get your vaccinations updated earlier on in the visa process, you cannot make an appointment until your vaccinations are up to date. The wait times for vaccination appointments can be very long depending on the vaccine and the time of year. Visit your family physician and see if you can get the vaccinations that you need there. They'll be covered by your health insurance, if not completely then at least for the most part.
