Vaccines

I started out researching Rose Medical Center in Denver. A friend told me that they would do a travel consultation and the shots for pretty cheap.

I ended up using Passport Health they weren't quite as cheap as Rose, but they price matched and they were much closer to home.

A friend (Jenna) called Passport to see if they would price match and they said it had been a one time thing :( She had some good news though, sounds like Denver Health will do the vaccines (not Jap E.) for even cheaper than Rose.

The vaccines I ended up getting were:

  • Hep A
  • Hep B - two shots will get the third when I return
  • Polio
  • Typhoid - oral, live vaccine
  • Tetanus/Diphtheria
  • Meningitis

I did not get:

  • Rabies - I can be treated after a bite
  • Japanese Encephalitis - very low risk in my itinerary, very high price
