MEDICAL: 1st DAY
We arrived IOM 7.00am and we were given an applicant budge by the security at the gate.
After that, we went straight to the main reception where we found a big number of people seated. we picked a waiting number and after few minutes our number was called. We went to the receptionist asked to give our passports and the 2Nl.
From there we were(in a group) asked to follow a certain IOM counselor to the counseling room where we got counseled according to your country of destination i.e US, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, n so on. Inside there we signed a vaccination consent (here don't forget to carry the address of your US host n especially his/her phone number)
From there we went back to the main reception to wait for a van to Nairobi hospital for a chest X-ray(here we were told that if they read a certain scar on the x-ray, they will examine it for two months and if they find out yu've TB, they will take another eight(8) months not 8 weeks to complete your medical. After the x-ray we were driven back to IOM where by we we given the next day's appointment.

MEDICAL: 2st DAY
IOM at 7.00am, thru gate, we got the budge the we were directed to doctors room by a certain employee of the IOM(but remember on the first day we gave the blood at the IOM for tests, yu know like syphilis,) At the doctor's room we picked a waiting number and gave our payment coupon to the receptionist.
Just a few moment a doctor called my wife's name and told her that she must repeat the X-ray since it was not readable(there n there I tensed..........could my wife be havin' TB or wat could it be or maybe a breast cancer) I was given another payment coupon for my wife's x-ray of ksh.1,400, we went to the cash office, paid and after payment we were taken to Nairobi hospital (now this case was special since it was a repeat n then we were the only Dv2013 applicant present at the day) I asked the doctor the reason why the x-ray spoiled n she told me it might be: she didn't follow instructions.
After the X-ray we were taken back to the IOM and imagine, within no time the x-ray result was there. God is great the x-ray was excellent. We were directed to doctor's room for testing eye sight, ears, measuring heights and weights. From there we were taken to another doctor who examined our eyes, ears, noses and even the whole body......one after the other wife, child & me(the physical room: here yu remove everything; if yu've a certain scar, the doctor will need to know wat caused it)
Here the doctor gave me the x-ray results and told me that the results are nice. She told me to go to the vaccination room for vaccines administered for we three. She also told me to keep the x-ray in a good place(do not fold) they will be needed(MUST)at the P.O.E (dont take them to the embassy since they've a copy)
We went to the vaccination room:
Here are the costs;
Adult: $138 per adult 2(138) @ a rate of Ksh.85 was 11,730
Child below 15 yrs: $ 105 @ the same rate Ksh.8,925
Remember this is not vaccination fees, this amount is mandatory.
Vaccines
Adult: Dultravax (d.t combi..) @ $32 per adult 2(32) Ksh5,440
Influenza @ $28 per adult 2(28) Ksh.4,760
MMR @ $26 per adult 2(26) Ksh.4,420
Child: Rotavirus @ $47 per child Ksh. 3,995
Tetraximm (Dtap +Hib) @ $33 per child Ksh.2,805 (was told that they will refund to me since it was not
appropriate time for him)

It costed me about 53,860 and an additional of 1,400 for the xtra x-ray.
The most worst of all is the vaccines, yu don't feel them right away but at around evening until now they are still aching.

Remember I tried to approach almost everyone and unfortunately I didn't get a DV2013 applicant.
The only DV guy I got was a DV2012(he was like mad............he didn't know the DV2012 fiscal year is gone) But he insisted that he had a re-scheduled appointment letter of which he will be going to Embassy at 17th Dec this year. Anyway I tried to assist him by introducing him to the forums and also apply for the DV2014. More amazing, is that he made the payments on the first day but yesterday I left him advised by the IOM on the DV2012 issue.

Was he one of the guys who were notified late(around July 2013)? Is he for real?
But he insisted that he had a re-scheduled appointment letter of which he will be going to Embassy at 17th Dec this yearIs that right(typo perhaps)!!! DV2012 is down the drain!!!
If you had chicken pox before make sure you mention that to reduce your bill. If you had it, you don't need the shot otherwise get it.
That dude will be shocked. He better not waste money and think of 2014.@ obeezyb didn't you find it fishy when he said he was notified through mail that he had won 2012 dv?
well told..
Now this is 1 of the advantages of having a low CN!!! @least,you'll have hope of securing the visa b4 year end.they will examine it for two months and if they find out yu've TB, they will take another eight(8) monthsnot 8 weeks to complete your medical. After the x-ray we were driven back to IOM where by we we given the next day's appointment
Were u asked if u had chickenpox?
hmmm......but the appointment letter is printable & IOM accepted his payments
,as for the rescheduling authority,it can only be the Embassy since after the 2nd NL,KCC is thru with u(If I could only see the letter!!!).(My 2 cents)Could it be that his medical had expired while on AP & he had to redo it in order to secure the visa & unfortunately he was time barred

Of course, you'll save about 5-10k (measles & small pox or is it chicken pox?)

You know, this guy(Single) had been notified via email on late August.....he filled the forms and sent to Kentucky on early Sept and on 19th Sep he received the 2NL.
He told me that he had not prepared in terms of Birth cert,passports & sort of cash so he decided to reschedule n' I wondered how he was given such a date and yet he was a DV2012 which was ending at 30th Sep, 2012.
I av his phon number and I told him to join the forum and particularly post that story of his coz I even saw the letter. I might even call him n' ask what happened.

By the way that was the first quiz on the first day at the vaccination room, n' ma response was YES! If yu saw yes that vaccine won't be administered to yu(But it is important for yua health if yu know yu've never had C.Pox(yu can ask the parents/guardian)......say no to get the vaccine.
