I just got the rabies series of vaccines.
Bill was $9800. After insurance it was $285.
Oh damn, I got the rabies vaccine when I worked part time at a vet school because they offered it. They were like "Uh but you're IT, you don't really need it, so you could skip the hassle..." and I was like "Why would I turn down an opportunity to get a vaccine? You're paying for it, right? Reprogramming my immune system is awesome, sign me up!"
No wonder they looked annoyed, LMAO.
"You severely underestimate our users..."
I was advised to wait until I got out of the US to get the Rabies booster series. Ended up paying around $120 USD for all 3 shots. Checkmate, capitalists!
Oh wow
Wow that is just extortionate. How long is the vaccine valid for?
Umm I can’t actually remember. I think it’s something like 1-5 years.
Even at it's longest, that's about $2000 a year - that is still crazy.
Yeah it’s crazy how corporations just extort you when the alternative is death.
