Medical and vaccines

[Dave & Mong 29]

Does anyone know the costs for vaccines at HMC if my fiance needs any?

My finacee paid around 300,000 Vietnamese dong for it for 3 shots, chicken pox, flu and tenanus (sp?).

I remember it is something like USD $140 for 16-yr and older and $110 for 15 and under.

Found the site.

It was like 500,000 VND for my wife with blood test, MMR, Flu shot, and Tdap.

140 dollar is medical exam.

Thanks, so if send her $140 for the physical and maybe another $100 for the shots? Sound reasonable?

[Anonymous885 44]

Yeah. Did she have Hep. B vaccine in the past? Those Hep.B shots are expensive.

Thanks for the input. She goes in a couple of weeks.

Don't worry too much about the HEP B vaccine. With the way girls are sleeping around (WAY BEFORE MARRIAGE) nowadays in Vietnam, HEP B is the least you should worry/be concerned about.

You should concentrate in HIV and many other STDs!

I was talking about money not about disease. He was wondering 100 dollar is enough for vaccination. They will give Hep. B shot if she did not have it yet and it can cost more than 100 dollar. This is nothing to do with HIV or STDs.

If you are K-1 you can wait until she is here for the vaccines. But typically getting it overseas is a lot cheaper.

My private insurance covered my fiancee and her 2 children. I was able to add her once we were married.
