Can't you get a whole list from the civil surgeons finder for your area?

It's doctor's discretion.

But you have to bring the record of vaccination from the past.

Without the past vaccination record, doctor may decide to give a shot or two based on CDC's recommendation and his discretion based on your age/sex/race/etc...

*P.S. you may recover the cost for vaccination from your medical insurance or healthcare reimbursement account.

I had the same problem and ended up using Dr Arnold who is one of the civil surgons in Texas They charge $30 and if you send you embassy doctors transcript they will transfer it over to the I693, without you needing to go and see them. If you also need addition vaccines adding a letter or certification from the doctor who did it is also needed to add it to the I695 (I had to do this as i had the HPV vaccine here in the usa). I had some surgeons trying to make me have the whole medical done again, either there is a massive lack of communication between USCIS and Civil Surgeons or most get the certification to make a quick buck. Dr Arnolds contact details are Dr. L E Arnold, 4534 Westgate Boulevard, Suite 106, Austin, TX 78745 phone (512) 444-3131.

I thought if you were on K1 you didn't need to fill out the supplement, that all the information should be included in the brown packet you turned at POE. In some cases the paperwork is incomplete or lost and then you need to see the civil surgeon, but otherwise just file your AOS and see if they give you an RFE for additional paperwork.

You Do Not need to re-do the vaccinations shots. That's absolutely rediculous, and could potentially cause health problems! Any doctor who would give you the shots again after just a few months of already having them is an idiot and shouldn't have a practice! sheesh!

Find another doctor to do your supplement. If that fails, go to your regular family doctor, have them run titres to test for immunities to the required diseases and submit that.

i live in oregon to and have never asked this cuz we have not reached that part of our journey, but why couldnt u go to the county health clinic and find out about the vaccinations?

Its cheaper and it goes by sliding fee scale.

i know that when we didnt have insurance thats where my mom took my younger sister.

just a thought

At first, I didn't want to file the I-693 but I have to get my third shot for HPV so my hubby and I went to a hospital I use his health insurance and get a shot. Then I realized that it should be taken from a civil surgeon, so my husband and I went to a civil surgeon clinic (portland,or) I brought my passport with me and the supplemental form. they reviewed my vaccination record and told me that I have to take the other shots too because it is already time to have a follow-up shots and I did. And for my HPV vaccine which I took from the hospital I just gave them the receipt that I already took the shot and they included it in the I-693 form and sealed it in an envelope. They also gave us a copy of our I-693 too. I was glad we did it because the USCIS letter put it on the list of things that we should bring on the interview.
