Shots

OK.

So I called my Dr's office today about my shots - they don't do them.

I called the Board of Health and asked about the Hepatitis A & B shots - It is a combined shot - and I have to get it twice. Once now and again right before I go. $50.00 bucks a pop. I didn't ask about the others, but after what I found out today, I'll call them back.

I called a Dr. that specialized in Travel shots - hopefully he'll call me back tomorrow.

I called the Visiting Nurse Service - here is the run down she gave me:

Hepatitis A & B - two times - $115.00 each - $230.00

Adult Polio booster - $40.00

Yellow Fever - $115.00

do you see a pattern here?

Tetanus - $55.00

Typhoid - $65.00

Flu & H1N1 - $25.00

Total = $530.00 - NOT including my Malaria Pills or my Anti-Diarrhea pills!

She was pretty sure those were all of the shots I needed.

And then she asks "How many do you want to get at a time?"

I laughed at her question! She was wondering because of the cost, not because of the number of shots I need to get! Right now I have a tentative appointment to get some of my shots on March 1st. See, I have to make sure my Typhoid pills (yes, I said PILLS!) aren't too close to the time I'll have to take my Malaria pills. I'll have Michael go with me so he can take pictures of them all for you!

Anyhow, now I have to call insurance - the nurse I spoke to said MAYBE the Hepatitis shots were covered - I need to call on the rest.

So that is on my list for tomorrow to do. I will also call the Board of Health again as well as the travel doctor. Hopefully I'll get good news!!

=)

Till tomorrow!
