Hello,

 

Visa category is CR-1. Is it possible to get the polio vaccine during the medical? Or is it required that we have it before?

 

Thanks!

It's required that you either had taken the polio vaccine prior to the medical or you'll pay for it during medical, which is more expensive than you might get it outside the Medical organization. If you want to get it before the medical exams, make it closer to the medical exams and go their with all your vaccination cards, It's very important or you may have to pay and take it again. Go there with all you vaccination cards, not just for polio.

Thank you. My husband hasn’t gotten his interview letter yet but assume it might be within a few months. He just got the serology test from a GP and is getting his vaccines now. They said it might take a few weeks to receive all the vaccines, but I was getting worried in case he didn’t receive all of them by the time he got the medical appointment. But yes he will be taking his vaccination record with him! I wanted to make sure that the medical center also provides the vaccine during the appointment in case of time constraint plus I heard around that polio is needed before the medical appointment but perhaps that’s for a different country. Thanks!

When his interview email arrives to him, he'll know if polio is needed prior to the interview. But they gave me the vaccines my vaccination record didn't cover and I paid for them right there.
