I came on a k1 and about to adjust my status. My medical I had in London has expired now as it’s been over a year. Do I have a new medical before filing for aos or wait until it’s approved? Do they send the results off themselves or do I send the results they give me in the envelope myself when I file?

You have 2 options: https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume8-PartB-Chapter4.html

Option #1: Do the medical now with a USCIS designated Civil Surgeon and submit AOS (w/ the sealed medical envelope) within 60 days. This medical will be valid for 2 years from the date the civil surgeon signs it.

Option #2: After submitting AOS without a medical, wait until the AOS interview is about to happen (within 60 days). Take the sealed medical envelope to your AOS interview. If there are any unforeseen circumstances and AOS is not approved at the interview, then the medical is still valid for 2 years from the date the civil surgeon signs it.

Thanks for your reply mate. One more question, I had my shots one year ago today. I was all up to date with them. Tetanus and MMR etc. Are they still good? Will I have to pay for more shots aswell as the physical?

Yes. Take proof to the medical exam. The doctor will fill out Part 9 Vaccination Record (as well as Parts 4, 5, 6, and 7): https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-693.pdf?download=1 You will pre-fill Part 1.

Only vaccinations that have gone out of date and require a booster will need to be done, if any.  The civil surgeon will make this determination.  If boosters are required, it will be in addition to the medical fee

YMMV
