Travel Shots

It was a lovely morning at the County Health Department. Daniel had the morning free, so we decided on a whim to go a day early to get the travel shots completed. After a long intake with the nurse who explained what is necessary, and what is strongly recommended for travel, we both ended up getting the Polio, Typhoid and HepA shots. We both had a few we didn't need because of the round we got for India travel two years ago. We also got a prescription for Malaria medication we'll start taking 1 week prior to travel. The nurse strongly recommended Yellow Fever shots, but they are out of the vaccine this week and won't have any until later next week. I've heard from other parents that the Typhoid vaccine can make you a bit achey and sick for a few days...we feel fine so far, and hope it doesn't get too bad.
