Hello good am to all,,,
As I promised,,, I will get back to y'all regarding vaccination
I went to St.Luke's Extension Clinic located at George Bocobo Ermita Manila,,,
After re doing the whole process at the end of the examination they instructed us to go to the 2nd floor,, for vaccination review,, yes I don't know why I didn't experienced it before why now it's different???
This is specifically what's happened in our last stage until we get our receipt and go home...
After 3hrs,,, waiting our names to be called and got an interview by the dr. And ask them the following..
Q. What vaccines are needed for my child? She already done the mmr1 and 2 last March 23, 2016.
A. It's ok mam no need for your child to under go vaccination since you have your certification from her pedia and I will be going to need a photo copy of it and copied the Lot # of the medicine used to her.
Q. So is she passed this interview?
A. Yes
I am next the be interviewed...
Dr. Q. Mam have u done you mmr from your previous medical
Me A. No
Dr. Q. Mam you have to take the mmr vaccine because it is requirement for us the get your re-medical exam
done.
Me. A. Dr. Do I really need to have it? Is it only for a child? Last time I did my medical there is no such
instruction for me how come I need this as well?
Dr. Q. To answer your question the cem office wanted ALL APPLICANTS from U.S. And CANADA to have the
vaccine taken from us or else present a certification that you have already done this shots. It is their
protocol!,,Not this clinic we are just following orders also and hope every applicants complied. And It is
not only for a Child this is required for ALL APPLICANTS from ages 1yrs. Old to 60yrs. Old. The only
thing is 1-18y.o.Must have 2 shots of mmr while 19-60y.o. 1 shot is enough,,,
The reason why you are not required to have this vaccine from your previous examination was,, as I see
Your file you are pregnant,,, MMR is harmful to the baby on your womb that's y u r not instructed to do
So....
Me. Q. I see so that's explain.... Should I really need to have this???
Dr. A. It's up to you BUT we will be waiting for you to comeback until you have given us a certification of your
vaccine and Unlike to us we can issue you right here and now and your application will be sent to
embassy as soon as You finish all examination and immunization required.
Me. Q. Ok I will have it now.. How much....
*****here's the catch listen listen ******
Dr. A. Ok mam since you are decided here's the prescription just go the the 5th flr. Pay for pregnancy test first
Then go to 4th flr. To have a urine exam after u finish this go back to 5th flr. And pay for mmr vaccine
and come back to me
***** I'm like and think $$$$&&$******
Me. Q. What's with the pregnancy test?
Dr. A. As I said the mmr vaccine is harmful if you are pregnant that's y we needed to conduct pregnancy test
To be sure that you are eligible to have to vaccine...
Me. A. (I just want to go home and do whatever they say) ok I'll be right back
Then after all the holdup finally I got my receipt and told that me and my child passed all the exam just wait for 2 days then cem will have it by that date...
As I've said I experienced it at St.Luke's in Ermita manila branch I don't know the process in different branches but I and my co-applicant there had experienced this hold up and it's up for you guys to believe it and have your vaccines done or not I also have a copy of this receipt to those who's doubting my story I am gladly show it to you if you want a proof LOL...
For further reference - MMR - 1,350
Pregnancy test - 495
Flu vaccine - they didn't ask for it
If I were a boy at least I can save 495php LOL
