Preparing for the medical exam in Bogota

[ninaetmilo 0]

My husband had his medical exam with Dr. Roa yesterday, and on the vaccination worksheet in results Vaccine History Incomplete then Applicant must be eligible for blanket waiver because vaccination not medically appropriate was checked off. I believe this is because he did not present his vaccination history and has had varicella. The Doctor gave him the MMR shot and the TDap. I just want to make sure that this shouldn't be a problem for the interview nor at POE. --thanks!

On a more informational note, I had tried communicating with the Red Cross for weeks and coincidentally I found it the night before the appointment in el Centro Andino first floor. The Red Cross in el Andino direct number is 621 3111 ext. 123. They said that they have trouble with the number listed on their website. They have very long service hours. It was something like from 9:30 to 9:45 but call first to confirm. They give me a price list of the three principle vaccines needed and it ended up being more expensive then having it done with Dr. Roa. The prices at the red cross are the following: Varicella 102,000.; MMR(triple viral) 25,000.; TDap (DPT)80,000.; and el carnet Internacional 4,000. While with Dr. Roa these three came out to 203,000. Dr. Roa uses a group in the same office builidng named IDE(Imunologia y diagnostico especializado) and their number is 214-9403 if you want to compare price with them and the red cross in the future, since my prices will eventually change. this groups also has another office at Cra. 9 #48-40, consultorio 402 and telephone 570 0028 0r 570 0029. I don't see why Dr. roa shouldnt' accept vaccinations from the other office that's not in his building or in the fact the other female Dr. Just added this info. in case this second address is much closer.

I knew that i wasn't going to be allowed in, but my husband wanted me to go with him. If you happen to be the companion just spending time, I recommend you walk east one block to Usaquen Antiguo its a really charming plaza, then take a walk to Hacienda Santa Barbara. I lucked out that they had live performances, so it made my time go much faster and I didn't not have to wander around a mall.

My husband said that the exam went well. The doctor was fine. No complaints on his part. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I guess we have completed all the major steps, just pick up a few more docs and print pictures for the interview next week.
