We got started on our vaccinations…wow, who would’ve guessed we would need so many?  Sherri has never been vaccinated (even as a child) so she needed a few more then me!  I had to get 5 shots…3 in 1 arm & 2 in the other arm!  Ouch! 
Ok…they didn’t hurt as bad as I expected, but I’m a total wimp when it comes to needles.  I had to sit down in the chair at the Dr’s office & cover my head with my jacket so that I wouldn’t see the needle and freak out!  I think Sherri handled it a bit better than I did.
Unfortunately these vaccinations are not covered by insurance…cha ching $$$. Between the two of us our vaccinations cost over $1,300 so far and supposedly we’re not done yet.  The travel doctor said we should still get the vaccination for Japanese Encephalitis…it’s a 3 series & costs $150 per shot ($450 for one vaccine!)  We’re still doing a bit more research on that one…if you have had this vaccine or have traveled into the rural areas of the countries where we’re visiting please email & let us know!
