Hey Tex....while I was reading the paper this morning I saw an ad in the HenHouse circular offering travel vaccination information. I called them, and this is what they came back with for Haiti:
1. Malaria. Oral taken for 2 days before travel, each day during travel and for 7 days after travel. About $126, but has less side effects than the less expensive one. She said people reported weird dreams with the less expensive one.
2. Tetanus. Needs to be current on tetanus and they are recommending the tdap which covers pertussis and whooping cough. about $65.
3. Typhoid, oral that needs to be completed at least 1 wk before travel, but is good for 5 years. About $51
4. Flu shot
You need to go through your md and have them send a prescription to the pharmacy. Hen House 13600 Blackbob, Olathe KS 913-782-2039
Disregard if you've already looked into this. I just thought it was nice that it was close by...last time I had to do this I had to go to Research Hospital!
