After a visit to the nurse I needed to have a yellow fever vaccination, hepatitis a and typhoid, rabies (a course of 3 injections over 3 weeks) and meningitis MCWY. I have also been prescribed a course of doxycycline to protect against malaria. I am up-to-date with all the other necessary vaccinations.
I was shocked at the price of these vaccinations; the rabies injections broke the bank the most. I was given a private prescription at a cost of £10 and had to pay for the drug on top of that direct from the pharmacy. I shopped around a bit, being quoted as much as £138 for the 3 injections at one pharmacy and £86.60 at another. I finally went with Asda Pharmacy for this one. All the other injections (the Yellow Fever Vac and Meningitis MCWY) cost £40 and £45. Hep A and Typhoid in one injection was free. The malaria precautions were operated in the same way as the rabies vac for me, I was issued a private prescription and had to purchase the medication from my local pharmacy. Luckily for me, my Mum covered the cost of these vaccinations and medicines as a Christmas present! Happy Christmas Katie!
