I have gained a new special ability: immunity from hepatitis B.

Thank you, socialized health care!

Did you get hep A too, or did you have that already? There's a combined vaccination out and you only need two shots of Hep A, so you can roll it in with the rest of your B series if desired. As I recall, the GSS health plan covers pretty much every immunization under the sun, so stock up while it's free! You seem to me more likely to encounter typhoid or yellow fever or japanese encephalitis than most people. Through exposure to time travel, death lasers, or impromptu trips to leave a traffic cone visible from space at a confluence in the middle of Asia in an area with no safe drinking water. Somehow.

I've had the first hep A jab, but of course it won't be complete for another 6 months or so. But that one isn't free, unfortunately.

Have you tried submitting the receipt to the ubc health plan? They paid for mine a few years ago. I think they'll pay 100% up to $150/year, if they haven't changed it.

Yeah, I need to do that. In my copious free time. =\
