First Vaccines

I received my first two shots yesterday - for Polio and Hepatitis A. My arm was somewhat sore, but not too bad.

So now, for Malaria (required), I have to decide between one prescription that might cause anxiety and depression or the other one that might cause a yeast infection.

AND for Yellow fever (required), it doesn't sound too bad, but insurance doesn't cover it so it's expensive!

AND for Typhoid fever (recommended), I can either get a shot that feels like your arm is falling off or take the pills. I shall opt for the pills, I think.

Oh what have I gotten myself into? :)
