Since it was all Greek to me anyway, I found myself using less filler words when trying to communicate. All the added words, such as “like” and “yeah” just add confusion. So while I still had to stop and think a bit, I managed to tone down my “like” bad habit.

After hopping between lines at the Kaiser pharmacy & nurses station, I finally got all of my shots and prescriptions done, in under 1 hour!

The list:

  • Yellow Fever shot
  • Hep A. shot
  • Flu Shot
  • Malaria pills (1 a week, 2 weeks before, during, and 4 weeks after)
  • Typhoid fever pills (every other day, for 8 days)
  • some major diarrhea medicine (only to be taken in an emergency diarrhea situation, the pharmacist probably thought I was kind of a freak because I couldn’t stop giggling about this one)

All the vaccinations were free since Kaiser is an HMO, (finally something to be happy with Kaiser about), and the pills ended up being about $80 total. So considering that it’s usually around $400 to get completely done with travel shots, I think I made out pretty well. As for the next day, I feel pretty achy. Hopefully this doesn’t last too long…

I don’t really have a problem” ha! So maybe I’ll try this next summer, eh? I have a couple years to finish this whole list. :)
