about observership/externship

Dear Sir, I want to apply to some observership programs but most of them ask for immunization records for the application, like MMR, Varicella,PPD test etc.I was thinking where to get these things done and whether it is too expensive for IMGs like us who are on visitor visa.
Waiting for the reply
Thanks so much.

Hi, You do not need measles

Hi,
You do not need measles and MMR for most but would need PPD. If they need measles, MMR, etc. you can get a titer by doing a blood test. It costs about 100 USD or so if you have to pay cash. Check with them if they really need all that. When I worked as a resident, all they required was PPD and Hep B. Thanks.
