Vaccine after vaccine after vaccine!


Jon and I leave in a little over one month. I'm kind of losing my mind with excitement, and the stress of having to move out of my aparment, contact OHIP, deal with bank loans, work issues, and all of these bloody needles I keep needing! I just got the Flu Shot which is a must for travellers to third world countries. I am also getting the typhoid vaccine on Thursday and have already been jabbed with tetanus and dyptheria boosters. I also have Hep A and B.

I hate taking medicine and am a firm believer in any cold being cured by a generous dram of whisky and extra spicy curry, however it is better to be prepared travelling to countries where travellers constantly succumb to illness. I would hate to miss out on any adventure because I'm stuck to the toilet! I'm also stocking up on diarrhea tablets (lovely) and malaria pills.

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Yellow Fever vaccine is free from the clinic at 690 Ingeniero Huergo Avenue. I'll be visiting!

Jon and I leave in 37 days. The countdown has begun! I will continue to nurse my sore arms and try to sort through the remainder of my flights.

Tchuss!
