more vaccinations
Sep. 15th, 2022 01:34 pmBack in the height of the pandemic, when they were first talking about the vaccines that would soon be out I wondered if there were any new vaccines that had come out since I was fully vaccinated as a child in the 1970's, but didn't think it was a good time to ask, given how swamped the health care system was just then.
After things slowed down again that the Swedish government opened the doors to events again I contacted the local health center and sent them a scan of my old shot records. They replied saying that I am extraordinarily well vaccinated, and I need only TBE and boosters for Hepatitis A and B, and they would send me an appointment time later.
Today was that time. They said that it is better to do one type at a time, so today I got Twinrix, which boosts both my previous hepatitis A and B vaccines. They will send me a new appointment in a couple of weeks for the next.
They were quite apologetic that I actually have to pay for the vaccine, which cost 525 sek. I pointed out that it is cheaper than getting sick, and I have the cash.
