You look so good! How long have you been growing your hair out? Also I love that bracelet and want one rull bad

*^_^* Thanks! I've only really been growing it out in earnest since maybe last May or June, but was wearing it kind of chin-length for a year or so before that.

The cuff was a Christmas gift from my Sweetie, actually! She follows me on Pinterest, and I filled up a whole board with stuff like that a while ago, but it was a total surprise when I opened it. :)

Hi! I found and followed you from that incredibly informative ask you reblogged with herd immunity statistics toward vaccination and I can just ask a doctor but I figured you were a good person to ask: I'm one of those who my parents never got vaccinated for "religious reasons" (we're not religious) and I have never gotten a single vaccination. I want to get immunized, but where do I start? Is it safe to get them all at once? Does it cost money, or is it covered under insurace? Thanks!

The best person to talk to would be your health care provider.

I'll tell you what I can though! Maybe this will offer some guidance.  First off, if you are under the age of 18, yes it is covered by insurance with no cost thanks to the Affordable Health Care Act.

Here are the following covered vaccines:

Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis

Haemophilus influenzae type b

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus vaccine for females

Inactivated Poliovirus

Influenza

Measles, Mumps, Rubella

Meningococcal

Rotavirus

Varicella

If you are over 18 then some of these vaccines are NOT fully covered.  The following are IF you over 18

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Herpes Zoster

Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus vaccine for females

Influenza

Measles, Mumps, Rubella

Meningococcal

Pneumococcal

Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis

Varicella

Which ones you need depend upon a lot such as health history and lifestyle.  

 If you've had the chicken pox (like I did, no vaccine at the time and my older sister was a pooy head who infected poor toddler me:(  ) then you don't need the chicken pox vaccine.  

If you are under 60, you don't need to get a Herpes Zoster (shingles) shot yet.

Unless you are immunocompromised (or are missing a spleen!), you most likely don't need Pneumococcal right now.  

Can you get caught up all at once?  No, you can't.  The reason is many of these vaccines are part of a series.  You can't get your MMR and your MMR booster at the same time just like you can't get your poliovirus and your poliovirus boosters at the same time. You can, however get several of them on the same visit.  (I once got a vaccine in each leg when I was little and I begged my dad to carry me to the car because I 'couldn't walk'.  I was a very, very dramatic child. Especially because I was magically 'cured' when I was offered ice cream for being a good girl.)

Where should you start though?  Again, your medical provider would be best but my opinion is these should be the first ones:

Measles Mumps Rubella

Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis

Meningococcal (especially if you live in a dorm)

Polio

There are many others you can get and I DO recommend them.  Hell I've had them all except for Herpes Zoster (too young), Pneumococcal (I'm rather healthy), and Varicella (Got it the good old fashioned way >.>).  The above list are the ones I think should be prioritized.  Again, your medical provider will be able to advise you further.
