Immunizations Daily!

geez, I feel like a pin cushion, and worse, these shots are expensive! Yellow fever $164, Malaria meds $134, typhoid $69, hepatitus A $80, hepatitus B $51 x 3, polio, and a few more I can't remember. I think Blue Cross will cover the polio booster, but they said they don't cover travel vaccines. That is just stupid, because it will cost Blue Cross a lot more if I came home with these diseases than to prevent them. Anyway, I have been warned to drink only bottled water and to do without ice, so with all these precautions I expect to stay healthy throughout the trip. Most of these shots give immunity for at least 5 years or more, so I guess I should become a world traveler soon!
