Constance Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Dear Dr. Santiago, you gave us a phone number, however, no one answers when people call that number. I have tried all morning, beginning at 9 am through a few minutes ago. I also sent you a text message, but have not yet received a reply. Could you possibly post more details? Will you have the quadrivalent available? If so, when? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Trivalent There are hundreds of A-strains that are mutating constantly and hard to predict, while there are only two B-strains. The trivalent vaccine protects against three different flu viruses: the two most common A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) and one B strain (either Massachusetts or Brisbane), whichever is predicted to affect citizens most strongly in a given year. Quadrivalent This form offers the same benefits as the trivalent vaccine, with the added bonus of covering both B-strains, so four strains total. Experts see this as beneficial since both B-strains have been detected within the United States in the past 10 years. Overall, both types protect against the flu, and the CDC does not currently recommend one over the other. Eventually, the quadrivalent vaccine will phase out the trivalent form. Right now, the quadrivalent vaccine can cost almost double the trivalent form and some insurance companies won’t cover both... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorisb Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Here is the response I got in reply to my What's App with Chapala Med: We are going to get the quadrivalent flu vaccine. It costs $1800.00 pesos and it will take about ten days for the vaccine to arrive after the order has been placed. There is a $1000.00 peso deposit to order the vaccine. You can come to the office to make the deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
