Immunizations

Went to the Bear River Health Department to get some shots today. Actually I only received one shot, for Tetanus with whooping cough (TDAP). I did get it for a "special project" price since I do not have health insurance, that was nice. I also received pills for an oral typhoid fever immunization. It is a four pill series that I take every other day, at least one week before we go, I'll start taking it tonight most likely. I also received a prescription for malaria meds. I went with Doxycycline. It will require one pill the two days before we leave, one pill for every day while we are there, and one pill everyday for four weeks when we get back. It is a lot of pills, but it is the cheapest way to go for this immunization. I was already up to date on all of my other immunizations, so there was nothing too difficult for this trip.
