Vaccinations

I got lots of vaccinations yesterday for my upcoming travel. It will be my first time traveling to countries where disease is prevalent and vaccinations highly recommended. I got a lot of holes in my arms.

I got shots for:
typhoid (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/typhoidfever_g.htm),
yellow fever (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/yellowfever/),
hepatitis A,
hepatitis B, (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/index.htm)
polio (http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/pink/polio.pdf),
tetanus and diptheria (http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/VIS/vis-td.pdf) and
meningococcal (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/meningococcal_g.htm).

On top of those, I got a tuberculosis test (which is another hole in my forearm) and anti-malarial drugs that I have to start taking a week before leaving. Phew!

Have fun reading about all these nasty diseases.
