Shooting up

After the consult with the travel doctor, I realized that my GPs advice wasn't far off what the travel doctor advised. I recieved some maps from the travel doctor describing the malaria free areas in each country I plan to visit. She also prescribed anti-malaria pills, and medicine to fix any bouts with upset stomach and unusual bowel movements for me.

My left arm is feeling bruised today. I took three shots in my arm for rabies, polio, and typhoid. I decided to get the rabies vaccine despite the expensive cost. The doctor advised I was in high risk of contracting the rabies virus since I plan to visit rural areas and villages. The vaccine for rabies is administered in three shots. I have a second rabies shot next week, and another rabies shot right before I leave for Asia.

The traveller's advice on the Centers for Disease Control website is an excellent point of reference for any traveller searching for health related information to prep for a healthy vacation. http://www.cdc.gov/travel/seasia.htm
