Thoughts on Shots

I am finally protected against the various frightening diseases I would probably have contracted while abroad, and I wanted to recommend the place I went to get vaccinated. It's called Passport Health and they have an office at 2021 K Street, Suite 310, not too far from DuPont Circle. Basically the process was completely streamlined. I didn't have to check in, they just called my name into the waiting room literally seconds after I arrived. They have a booklet specifically for each country, which a nurse went through with me page by page. The office was straightforward about the cost and did not push for superfluous, expensive shots. There's an office fee of $45 for the first visit only, and they give you a detailed receipt to send to the insurance company, if you can get the shots covered. As Hoyas are often found studying in and travelling to exotic destinations, I thought this might be useful.
