ABOUT THE VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
You need some vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa.
I went to my home-doctor and the health insurance company did pay the bill.
Ask for a statement you had the required shots and bring it with you for the medical exam.
Otherwise the assigned doctor at the medical exam will give the vaccinations,
you have to pay him cash.
