Does anyone know how MANY are required? Also I've heard conflicting report as to whether or not they are needed for a K3.

The number of vaccinations needed depends on the individual case and is usually determined during the visa medical exam.

K-Visa applicants are not required to have the vaccinations but if they are offered as part of the visa medical exam, it is highly recommended that she get them at that time.

If she chooses not to have the vaccinations during the medical exam, she will need to get them later anyway in the U.S. when she applies for Adjustment of Status and it will cost you.

Where can I verify this? I would rather she get them here if it can be avoided over there. I'd REALLY like that. Let me know where I can verify this because I ALSO heard this somewhere else but no one has been able to tell me where I can confirm this. She is going for her K3.

Here, you can read it for yourself:

I think you are making a big mistake by waiting to get her vaccinations done here. If the shots are offered as part of the medical exam at no additional cost, then it will be a hundred times easier and much cheaper to have her get them there. Can I ask why you prefer that she get them here?

Vaccinations are important to public health and not something to be avoided under normal circumstances. However, if she absolutely insists on not getting any vaccinations, then there are waivers available.
