Hey guys -
So my school has a large number of us going on service trips overseas this summer. The challenge is that our "student insurance" won't cover the cost of travel immunizations. The travel clinic associated with our school is giving us a "discount" on the shots - but the total cost is still $300+.
Does anybody have any history of ordering immunizations direct from the manufacturer and having volunteer RNs administering them? I can't seem to find much on google.
Does anybody have a school policy that waives the "cost of visit" fee that is lumped on top of the cost of the vaccine? (our health service cost of visit is $59 just to get in the door on TOP of the cost of the vaccines - which have a nice little profit margin built into them).
Thanks in advance!
(PS - I tried to post this once, but SDN was being goofy - so if it gets double posted, apologies in advance)
