Last year my DD 14 got the flu. So the whole family had to take Tamiflu, which costs us hundreds of dollars. So this year I thought it would be cheaper to get the flumist (no one likes shots, including me). So I saved up 180.00 (my DH said he didn't need it) and in January we all got the flumist. $30.00 per person! Well, today I took my DD 10 to the doctor because I thought she might have strep. Well they tested her for the flu, which I thought was a BIG waste of time. DUH we just had the flumist 5 weeks ago! Well she tested positive. I am shocked! She's fine, absolutely fine, which I'm thankful for. Now everyone in the family has to take Relenza (pediatrician said Tamiflu wouldn't work?????). Relenza is 80.00 at our local Target and we have a $100.00 deductable. I don't know the total cost yet since the medicine won't be in until tomorrow after 2pm. There goes my Disney savings. I am so bummed.
