Noami and I got our immunization shots today! We both got TwinRix which is a combination of Hep A and Hep B together. We also got an Adult Polio shot. And I got an MMR.
We need to go back in 30 days and get another TwinRix. And then again in six months.
We decided to go to the county health department instead of having them done at our doctors office because it was a bit cheaper. The total cost for the shots today was $315. The TwinRix shot costs $70 each so we still have another $280 to pay because we need two more shots each.
We're going to talk to our adoption agency and our doctor about malaria and typhoid.

We got my first TwinRx, Diptheria, Tetanus, and Polio vacs last week.
In 3 weeks...it'll be the 2nd series of TwinRx and Typhoid Fever shots.
We probably gonna get Malaria and Flu shots too.
Luckily...we are insured....so....no out-of-pocket expense.
Good luck on your adoption.
Posted by: Pete at October 13, 2004 05:14 PMOur insurance only covers immunizations if they are part of a physical. And we had our physical back in December. I checked to see if they would allow us to have another physical, but you can guess what the answer was. :-P
I need to call our agency and our family doctor to find out more about malaria and typhoid.
