Medical examination question

Hello,
I have received my interview date for 2nd week of april in Lagos,Nigeria and i would like to know when to go for my medical examination?. How long is
the process and how do i go about the vaccination/immunization requirements? Thank you
 
I am going to take an appointment as soon as possible.
when I go to my Dr i will inform him about the interview date to see what's his opinion on when to do the test.
Also a very important point to keep in my mind, make sure the validity of the tests done to be valid for 6 months or more from your interview date.
If they expire lets say in 3 months, you will get a valid visa for 3 months. If more than 6 months, your visa will be valid for 6months.

I wasn't aware the validity of medical clearance had an impact on validity of green card? I thought once you got your green card ,you had 6 months to enter the US to use it. I wonder if this is also same with police clearances too then?

As for medical appointment in relation to your interview, I asked similar question here and was told at least a few weeks before interview. You will probably/definitely need to have 2 appointments for medical clearance as you need xrays and blood work. Additionally, you will require a seasonal flu shot if you get your clearance before 31st March as US flu season ends April 1st.
