Vaccinations

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Here's my experience with vaccinations ... I went to my family doctor in early December and told her I wanted a titres test for U.S. Immigration purposes. I brought the list that Marilyn posted and she copied that list onto the blood work request form. She sent me off to the lab to have the blood withdrawn, but not until she charged me $40 for the doctor's appointment because she said OHIP wouldn't cover the appointment, though they would cover the blood test. (I don't understand that.) Results took a month. I've been told verbally that I'm ok for all immunizations and I just need to go down and pick up the paperwork.

Another thing to check off!

Wow Karen, that sucks about the 40 bucks. I wonder if I'll get charged? At least it's over with though and you are one step closer!!!

I know. Being charged the $40 seemed strange to me, but my doctor is really by the book. She said the only thing scarier than U.S. Immigration is OHIP. All these small expenses sure add up over time!!!

FYI, I got that shot in Maryland all the others were in Alberta which cost me nothing.

This is sort of related and I didn't want to start a new thread.

If I had chicken pox when I was 5 months old, can I still give them a verbal? I don't actually remember it of course, but I for sure had it.

Yes you can

All I needed was a tetanus, and my family Dr did it and it cost me nothing. When I booked the appt, the girl asked me if I had the chicken pox, and if so, how old. I told I would have to find out from my mom what age I was when I had it. When I went to my appt, I told I had it when I was 18 months old, and she just wrote it down......
