Question about Vaccines (Split)

[GringoCarioca 16]

Hi IR-1 community!

 

We are prepping for the medical examination, and I believe we have all the documents needed but for extra security, we were interested in doing the Titer test for immunity to some of the required vaccinations (in-case they have trouble understanding my spouses foreign vaccination card).

 

Any recommendations on where this can be done? We've tried asking with our GP, but its not the easiest process we are realizing and wondering if any of you have recommendations for this with private practice or other service?

Thanks!

Any suggestions on where to do a titer test? 

We have the documentation with vaccines on my spouses foreign vaccination card, however,

for an extra layer of security would like to have other proof (just as a security to have as my spouse has a foreign vaccination card.

 

Thanks!

When I went for my medical, they carried out a blood test to check for antibodies for MMR as they couldn't see the full course on my vaccination record. So maybe if there are any issues they will do this for yall too.  Could always give visa medicals a call, they are super friendly and helpful.  

 

Good luck

They offered to do a blood test to check for antibodies however it was the same cost as getting the vaccine shots... I opted for the shots as it was easier and more convenient as well as cost efficient. 

 

I'm sure private medical centers are able to facilitate the tests for you at a potentially cheaper price. I think to check for the tetanus, polio etc it costs £40 but the vaccine was the same cost at the medic to give you a ball park.
