About a year ago,

I don't know which vaccine you need, but in my case, I needed an additional tetanus vaccine.
I got it at Long's and it was covered by my insurance.
If you go to the Longs website and enter your date of birth, you can see a list of which vaccines are available at which Longs.
There were about 10 vaccines available at Long's.

However, at the Longs near my house, I had to make an appointment.

I found the price list I looked up at the time and will repost it.

The one I got was the triple vaccine including tetanus Ǿ(Tdap Ǿ).

Long's $ 48
Safeway $ 55
Walmart $ 51
Cosco $ 51

For reference.

Thanks for the information.
I was told that my insurance would not cover it and when I checked the cost at Longs I was told Tdap was $85 ・ ・ ・ .
I didn't realize how much of a difference a year makes ・ ・ ・.

Mr. G.

Does it change that much in a year ？
so I did some research.
Then I found a site where I could find out how much at a nearby store.

https://www.goodrx.com/tdap

This shows that even Long's is $ 56.
I'm puzzled that Cosco is $ 75...

It says that the price is without insurance.
Maybe the price of the vaccine is $ 56, and the fee or injection fee ？

doctor will charge a doctor visit, so in any case, I think the drugstore is cheaper.

I think your partner is a citizen or will take citizenship because this waiting time is not worth it.

I have met many Japanese people in Hawaii and California who have won green cards and are living there.

They say the odds of winning are better than winning the lottery.

If your partner doesn't get citizenship, you might make better use of your time if you wait while applying for a green card.

At the moment, it takes about 8 years in this case.

If you go back and forth between Hawaii and Japan on ESTA, you will be at a disadvantage
You will have to wait in Japan.

It is best to let your husband get his citizenship while you still can.

I myself married a permanent resident more than 10 years ago,
following the same pattern as Aoi, and applied for a green card.
I went back and forth between Hawaii and Japan and got pregnant, but my lawyer told me to wait in Japan instead of entering the US.

After the birth, I could not come to Hawaii and my husband came to Japan to see me every 6 months for 4 years and it took me 6 years to get my green card.

I heard that some people who are married to Citizen now take more than 2 years to get a green card, so I think you should be prepared for 6 years.

I think they are trying
to see if they can keep their marriage going after 6+ years of long distance.
In fact, I think many couples have been givens.
Investor Visa would be the fastest way.

Over 10 years ago, I married a Japanese permanent resident in Hawaii and
applied for a green card through a Hawaii attorney.
During the application process, I visited Hawaii a couple of times with my husband on a tourist visa.　
I was not stopped at any point when I entered the country and I got my green card 3 years after I applied.　
Reading your posts, especially ＃ 2's post and others, I now wonder ？ if my actions were dangerous.
but that there are cases like this. I don't know what the current situation is, but I am surprised that they are trying to see if the marriage can continue. It could simply be that it's an American thing and the paperwork is slow. At the time I was there, I was told that some people take 10 years to get married, but that there are cases where it only took 3 years. Please be hopeful and survive your long distance marriage.

Angels, I believe that self-affirmation is up to me, and although I have only normal
abilities, I live my daily life with self-affirmation and encouragement.

It was free, not impossible. Sorry.
By the way, I was told that Medicare was not covered and other insurance was not available due to my short stay in Hawaii.

I think it is better to do it in Japan because it is expensive here
Also, if you are worried about blemishes, you should not live in Hawaii where the sun shines all year round.

Depending on what kind of blemish it is, it is better to consult a dermatologist than a cosmetic clinic.
In my experience, if it is a small blemish, Tri-Luma cream prescribed by the dermatologist will make it disappear and the area where the blemish was applied will look brighter in 2 weeks. It is not covered by insurance and costs about ＄ 270 per bottle, but it disappears in 2 weeks and is so strong that it is better not to use it continuously, so one bottle is enough. When I used it a few years ago, it was ＄ a little over 200, but when I recently got a prescription to use it again, the price had gone up. So I am now looking at using another brand of cream, although this time it is not as famous and I was told it would take longer to show results. I have been to a beauty clinic called Imperial Facial
for about 900 for a course of 8 sessions ＄ but it didn't work at all. Some of my ex-colleagues say that they were able to lighten the big spots that had been bothering them there for a long time.

Thanks for the info!
I will go to the dermatologist and ask.

What I was looking for was information, no negative feedback needed.

Nice to meet you ！
There are probably many different genres of Japanese communities in Hawaii.
I don't know what you recommend because I don't know your gender and generation, HARU. There are many Christians and Soka Gakkai in Hawaii. There are also many network business invitations. There's a lot of interaction between moms and dads. Many people are in the real estate business.
I meet Japanese acquaintances when I go to izakaya.

I think everything is like friends, so as you make friends through common interests
you will meet various groups and friends.
I hope you enjoy living in Hawaii!
