Get a copy of this record from where you originally got it, or start taking the required vaccines...one has to have a good medical reason from the Dr (Embassy Dr) to waive you from having to

taking them, start now and it will save you money. some clinics charges only a small fee, others are free.depending on where you reside..

I am not sure who you mean with "both" having to take them, but only the beneficiary needs them, and you won't need to take all of them- some are age dependant, others you'll likely be able to get records for or if not, can do a blood test to show you had it/ are immune.

Why in the world would you both have to get them? The medical exam and the interview are solely for the intending immigrant. The USC doesn't even have to go to either if they don't want to. Assuming most USCs are in the USA during the entire visa process, I doubt the doctor would even expect the American spouse to be present for the examination.

The actual required vaccines are depending on the age of your significant other. Fro details, go to CDC and find the details (DOS uses the CDC directions). Most would be by default applied in Peru when your spouse was a baby. Not sure how easy or difficult would be to get duplicate records, but it used to not be that hard and nowadays they have many of those records digitized.

Worst case scenario, many of those could be waived with a bllod test (can't recall the name of it, but it is listed in the CDC directions). Is a special test designed to report on the inactive vaccine organisms. Other than that, you would have to do the vaccines again.
