Taking Shots for the Lord

The pain in my both my shoulders is finally gone… Last week, I went to get my shots for the trip. That included immunizations for:

• Hepatitis A (series of 2 shots, good for life)
• Hepatitis B (series of 3 shots, good for life)
• Tetanus (good for 10 years)
• Typhoid (good for 2 years)
• Yellow Fever (good for 10 years)

Seems there a shortage on Yellow Fever vaccine. Had to call around Richmond to find it, and then had to wait until they found 4 other people who also needed it. It’s currently only available in a 5-dose quantity, and has to be administered within 60 minutes of opening.

Lastly, there’s the anti-Malaria pills, no shot for that one…

I should be ready to travel anywhere in the world, now that I’ve survived ‘persecution by needle’.
