Went to a new doctor today...he did my ppd and said he'll gladly pick up where that last doc left off. Realized that I'll be needing two vaccines though, so hopefully it won't cost me a fortune to get them! Once this is done then i'm only waiting to receive my lab results in the mail, and i'm done! sidebar: have you other applicants heard that the medical clearance wait time has doubled to four months now?? Apparently april to august is the super busy season so there's a delay. On top of this, medical packets are reviewed based on departure date, not date received, so i may be waiting even LONGER for clearance since my departure isn't until next year...ugh!

  1. Go to a county travelers clinic my vaccines were free all I had to pay for was the office fee of like 30 bucks.

  2. Oh no! I haven't heard that. I got an email from the PC yesterday saying that they sent my medical packets thru DHL. My toolkit got updated with a hold on my medical records because they're "under review" (or in the process of, since I haven't received them yet!)
    I guess the same thing will happen to me since I won't leave until June 2010!
