We walked into the travel clinic today with a mixture of trepidation and excitement. At the counter was a sign with a little dog that said "Those shots were ruff!" Awesome....this was what we were in for!
Aimey and I are getting ready for Peru and me for Rwanda so we had to have a consultation with a travel doctor. She went through the litany of vaccinations that are recommended and/or required. Yellow fever, Hep A, Hep B, Typhoid, Rabies and the list goes on.....We settled on the Hep shots and Yellow Fever - which is required for Rwanda and Bolivia (lately we've been thinking of going there too). And so we met with the nurse and became human pin cushions. Ouch!!! The Yellow Fever shot was okay but the Typhoid one still hurts. We have certificates to go in our passports so some Bolivian border gu
ard can't take us into a dimly lit room and inject us with the Yellow Fever vaccine. But ouch! It hurt! I am going to try a 3 day test run of the malaria medication to see if I can handle it. I'm am little worried but we'll see how it goes...Here's the proof (we asked for dinosaur band-aids but the nurse said we were too old!)
