Immunisations (vaccinations):

The US immigration regulations require applicants to be immunised against certain infectious diseases, according to age.  If you bring a written record of immunisations or the results of laboratory tests for immunity, it may be possible to avoid having certain immunisations.  Blood tests, at additional cost, can also be done at to check for immunity.  If these tests are performed the documents will not be ready until the results are to hand, which may take up to one week.

The maximum cost for immunisations is ¥31,250 (plus tax) for an adult aged 20 to 49 years; in many cases it will be less.  These charges are additional to those for the examination.  

For the costs of immunisations for other age groups, please call the Clinic: (03)5458-6099.

Only vaccines normally available in Japan and approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health are used.   

Results:

• Normal service.  If all immunisation requirements are fulfilled on the day of the examination, the documents will be available for collection three working days later.

• Expedited service.  For an additional ¥8,400 (including tax) the documents will be ready for collection approximately two hours after the appointment time.   

• Please note: if any abnormalities are found in the blood tests, the documentation may not be ready within the times stated above.  

• Delivery service.  On request, the completed documents and X-ray will be sent by delivery service (‘Takyubin’), at the applicant’s risk and cost, thus saving a further visit to the Clinic.
