Need to get the medical exam done and here is what the office of my primary care physician quoted me. Comes out to a total of 745. When I check the older posts, some have reported getting it done for $300-400. I can't find a single doctor for that sum in my area.
I was born in India and MMR wasn't available back then, I got BCG and DTP shots when I was a kid, and I don't have any certificate/document as proof of getting those shots. I had a skin test for TB done when I first came to attend school. I have never had any of the other vaccinations other than the flu shots.
Immigration Physical 145
Hep A 90
Hep B 95
Varicella 180
Influenza 32 (already got flu shot)
MMR 105
Admin of multiple vaccines 35
TB test 45
Gono 60
Total of ~750
Do I even need all these shots ? The vaccinations requirements page of USCIS lists only mumps, measles, rubella (MMR), polio, tet**** and diphtheria toxoids, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B, hepatitis B and any other vaccine-preventable diseases recommended by the ACIP as required vaccines. I wonder if this list is a ripoff attempt by the doctor's office.
