Today I went back to the travel clinic to have my TB test read (negative), but in the process we took a look at my vaccination records and the CDCs recommendations for Namibia and Southern Africa.
Here I thought I had every shot there was to have after all my previous travels, but nooooo.
So today I got:
- Polio, adult booster (who knew there was one?)
- Hep A #2 (could've sworn I had this before but it wasn't in my records)
- Typhoid (an oral vaccine, good for 5 years ...better than the injection which is only 2)
And prescription-wise:
- 8 months of anti-malarial Doxycycline (7 in Africa plus 1 followup after returning)
- 3 courses of Cipro
My mother will be very pleased, but 300 bucks? Ouch.
