We Saved $1,000+ Getting Travel Vaccinations in Japan! Here’s How It Went
Could getting travel vaccinations overseas save you more than $1,000? That’s exactly what happened when we decided to get our Japanese encephalitis vaccines while traveling in Kanazawa, Japan! In this Travel Bigger Daily Chat, we’re sharing our experience getting vaccinated in Japan instead of the United States, including the enormous difference in cost, how we found a local clinic, and what the entire process was like. We also explain why we decided to get vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis as full-time travelers preparing for extended travel in Sri Lanka and India. Getting medical care in a foreign country can sound intimidating, especially when you don’t speak the language, but our experience was surprisingly easy! We’ll share how we used ChatGPT to research clinics, communicate in Japanese, make arrangements, translate information, and understand the Japanese healthcare process. We also compare our vaccination experience in Japan with what we’re accustomed to in the United States, discuss the similarities and differences, and share whether we experienced any side effects after our shots. Whether you’re planning long-term travel, researching travel vaccines, or curious about healthcare in Japan, join us as we share what we learned about getting travel vaccinations abroad!
