Random Question...

I had my first of 4 physical exams for school today and they gave us the option of getting the menningitis vaccine at the hospital. I was wondering if it is possible that it would be covered under my private insurance to be cheaper at a regular docs? Maybe someone with children understands insurance and vaccines and can help, cause have never had my own insurance before since I got off my parents in 97 and the whole thing confuses me. We also have the option to waive the vaccine. Is that a dumb idea? To skip it all together? Oh, and I have Aetna if that means anything.

Your best bet would be to call your insurance company, some of them even have nurses you can talk to and ask questions. Some insurances cover immunizations to a certain extent, others not at all.
