Getting vaccinated is not enough when one is preparing for a trip around the world. In addition I consulted two doctors in order to get my hands on certain prescription drugs, vaccinated and just to know I was fine. Medical costs ended up being way more than I anticipated but better to be safe than sorry. Some of the vaccinations like the series of three Havrix shots for hepatatis A I had had already so thankfully that reduced the costs a little. Actually, not so little. I think that the three Havrix shots and two shots of Engerix for hepatitis B cost me about a 200 € at the time.
Here's what it all cost me:
- 60 € travel specialist, one consultation
- 18 € consultation with a nurse for booster shot
- 44 € vaccination for Japanese encephalitis
- 44 € booster shot for Japanese encephalitis
- 38 € vaccination for yellow fever
- 20 € vaccination for polio
- 37 € booster shot of Engerix for hepatatis B
- 30 € vaccination for typhoid
- 81,70 € gynecologist
- 10,88 € siprofloxin, antibiotic
- 13,32 fluconazole, antifungal antibiotic
- 130 € Lariam, for malaria / 6 months
- 196 € contraceptive pills
- 6 € Imodium for tummy
- 5 € antibacterial cream
- 20 € for the load of pain killers
- 8 € blister plasters
The sum total: 761,90 euros. Autch. And then there was the dentist.

Oho! How much was the dentist?
About 500 €. But I hadn't seen one in about 8 years so I guess it wasn't that bad.
And I'm so happy you're commenting Leeni!
