Can one get all the immunization shots in a single day?

Called up a CS and his assistant told me that the immunization process is pretty quick. They would do a blood test to determine which vaccines I need and then give all the required shots in one sitting.

That sounds a bit weird since I have never received more than one shot in a sitting. Can anyone comment on whether this sounds reasonable?

Also, if my blood test shows that I do not need certain shots then would the doctor just fill that I am immune in I-693?

Thanks.

My wife had all her shots done on the same day. She had no issues other than 2 sore arms. She had them all done at our community Health Center at a total cost of $15 for all 6 shots she needed. The CS would have charged her $350 for the same shots. We just got the nurse to give us a list of the vaccinations given and their Lot # on headed paper and we took that back to the CS and he transcribed it into the I-693.

Did your wife get her blood test first to determine which vaccines she needed or did she just got all of them regardless. Great idea to try community health center. Would look for one nearby.

Thanks so much.

It was 5 vaccines but only in one actual shot, so they didn't poke him over and over. It was in the cheek because he asked the doctor which one hurt less, and that was his response.

Thanks so much.

We went to a CS earlier and they didn't check us for anything (eg blood, etc.) but just look at our Immun. records and see which one we needed for our age. Then suggested us to go to a Health Center cos she's so honest about telling us the price for each vaccine we needed.

During our med. exam in our Home country, my was then 1-yr-old son got 5 shots on his legs, and I got 3 on my arms. T'was really sore but we'll do what we need to do. :blush:

That's Dr. LE Arnold's nurse. Yep, they're so helpful and honest about it. No wonder most of VJers went to them for their i-693.
