Polio, Malaria, and Rabies...oh my.

Karin and I leave in 30 days for our trip to India and Japan! Though excited, I have to admit, I am not looking forward to my appointment with the travel nurse this week. I'll be getting vaccines for polio, typhoid, tetanus, rabies, possibly yellow fever, and of course, a prescription of malaria pills, which I have to take once a week until departure, everyday while in India, and everyday for 4 weeks upon the return. The mosquitos love me and so I plan to take more than the required dosage! Ok, maybe not.

My arm hurts. Avoided yellow fever shots because I'm not going any risk areas and as for the rabbies shots, avoided those to. I have to be bitten first before I get the shot. You think the Kaiser nurse would have known that!
