vaccinations

$250 for 2 vaccinations (Yellow fever/Hepatitis) and 2 prescriptions (anti-malaria tablets and Diamox for altitude sickness prevention). Not covered by OHIP. Ouch. My arm is a little sore too. I had to find a special Travel Health Clinic government-certified to give the Yellow fever shot. Medisys was most convenient and the cheapest. The doctor proceeded to inform me that Yellow fever was no longer required for Tanzania. I asked for it anyway as it is recommended. It's good for 10 years. So now I am covered for everything but Rabies and HIV for probably the rest of my travelling life!
