$387 later...

Wednesday, I went and got a bunch of shots for my trip to Thailand. See, Thailand is a little bit third world, and I really didn't want to get some disease that would make me sick and require a liver transplant. *cough*Hepatitis A*cough*

So I set up an appointment at the University of Utah Hospital's travel clinic. Insurance probably wouldn't have covered all the shots anyways, plus I have weird insurance and would have to pay a $250 deductible first anyways. Lame. Oh well. So I went, they gave me a bunch of information on Greece and Thailand. Then came the shots.

Measles, Mumps, Rubella adult shot (never got it when it came out in the late 90's), and Hep A in the left arm. Tetanus and Flu shot in the right. Fun times! And I have 4 pills to take for Typhoid Fever. All this added up to $387. Like I said, fun times. But I guess it's worth it, right? I mean who wants to get typhoid fever? And I probably did need the MMR and Tetanus shot. Though, my arm hurt like a mother from the tetanus shot. Lame.

Final verdict, I'm glad I did it. This means I can eat all the yummy Thai food I want and not get Hep A! Bring on the pho and pad thai!
