Everyone is curious about our shots. We got them from Smartravel International Health Clinic in Alexandria, Virginia. We had the following shots (costs are per person):

Polio - $49
Hepatitis A (2) - $160
Hepatitis B (3) - $240
Yellow Fever - $95
Flu Shot - $35
Oral Typhoid - $80
Meningitis - $120
Tetanus (Amy only) - $50

Total per person = $779 for Roger and $829 for Amy.

We decided not to get the vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis because the side effects suck and we shouldn't have a high risk while we are in Asia (we will generally be there outside the transmission period).

We wanted to get rabies shots but they would cost us about $900 each! So we are going to get those shots while we are in Thailand for $50 each. Malaria pills are also expensive in America so we are going to buy them in Thailand for very cheap.

Thanks for checking in and for your comments. We will try to be a little more exciting and a little less needle-oriented next time.
