Got the first round of shots today. We needed Hep B; and Japanese encephalitis. Each are a series of three shots. We're on the "fast track" with shots - one week apart for three weeks. Our last one will be the day before we leave. We also got prescriptions for anti malarial drugs.... and the all important Cipro (just in case). We left nearly a grand with the doctor for just the shots. The prescriptions are in addition. Thank goodness for our Flexible Spending Account since insurance doesn't cover much of this. Just an outside chance on the Hep B. If anyone is going to do this kind of thing, we recommend they allow more time for getting ready. Three weeks is just not enough.
