more vaccinations...


i went back to my gp for the final vaccinations - combined hepatitis A and typhoid fever. this required a prescription and i need to store the meds in the fridge. i wonder why my salad was tasting a bit funny?!

so, finally jab tally:

- hepatitis A
- typhoid fever
- diphtheria
- tetanus
- polio

the nurse advised against malaria tablets, hepatitis b and rabies. the areas i am visiting are not high risk for malaria/rabies and unless you are a health worker dealing with blood, etc. hepatitis b is unnecessary. yeah! no more poking on the arm!

last jab left my arm sore for a week so i am hoping to fare better this time.
